Remember that famous Sir Alex Ferguson quote about Tottenham Hotspur?Ferguson simply said to his Manchester United players, ‘Lads, it’s Tottenham’ as his pre-match talk before facing Spurs.Ferguson’s now infamous quote couldn’t be further from the current truthGettyIt went down brilliantly with the players, and it summed up United‘s dominance over the club at the time.However, as we head into the latest edition of this fixture – live on talkSPORT on Saturday – things couldn’t be more different.Last season, Spurs faced United four times in all competitions, and they won every time.This included the Europa League final in which Tottenham won 1-0 to end their 17-year trophy drought. Such has been Spurs’ dominance over the Red Devils of late, they haven’t lost to United since October 2022.So, that old Ferguson quote doesn’t really apply anymore.But as we approach this clash, Ruben Amorim has yet to taste any form of success against Tottenham.His record reads: three games, three defeats, and Thomas Frank will be desperate to keep that going.But Spurs would almost certainly prefer this match to be away from home.That is because Tottenham are unbeaten in the Premier League away from home, but in front of their own fans, it is a very different story.Amorim is starting to turn things around after 12 months in chargeAFPSpurs boast just one league win, and that was on the opening weekend against newly-promoted Burnley.Since then, Bournemouth, Wolves, Aston Villa and Chelsea have all taken points from Tottenham on home soil.And United go into the match high on confidence, with recent results lifting them up to eighth in the table.October proved to be a strong month for the Red Devils.They claimed three Premier League wins – against Sunderland [home], Liverpool [away] and Brighton [home] – ensuring that their boss picked up his first Manager of the Month award.Bryan Mbeumo was also named Player of the Month, so things are starting to look up for the club in numerous ways.Tottenham come out on top defensively, but from an attacking point of view, Man United are performing better in the Premier LeagueThey will head to north London feeling they can take three points and continue this new-found momentum.A late equaliser away at Nottingham Forest last weekend only further highlights the danger United possess on their travels.Meanwhile, Tottenham will be desperate to maintain their brilliant record against United and also turn their home form around in the process.How the teams are shaping upTottenham’s recent record against United should give their fans some encouragement.Other positives for Spurs are that Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie are back and available.However, just as two key defensive players return, they have been dealt a potential blow in the attacking third with Mohammed Kudus a doubt.Summer signing Kudus could miss out on facing United in what would be a huge Spurs blowGettyThe Ghanaian has been Spurs’ biggest attacking outlet this year since his move from West Ham, so if he’s out, they’ll need someone else to step up to provide creativity.Striker Dominic Solanke is also out injured, leaving Frank very short in attacking areas in a game where Spurs fans will want to see the home side get stuck into their opponents.But it’s a very different story for United.The Red Devils have just one injury, and that is someone they’ve been without for a while.Lisandro Martinez is still recovering from an ACL injury, though he could be in contention to feature after the international break.No European football has also helped United so far, with Amorim’s team delivering consistent performances of late.With the Premier League table so tight, Man United or Tottenham can briefly leap into second spot with a winAmorim focused on consistencyAmorim has been discussing his team, with a favoured starting XI emerging.However, he feels that isn’t the case, and he wants to have an interchangeable squad.Speaking about his side, he said: “First of all, I think we cannot just connect these two points [consistency of team selection and the results].“We can have different starting XIs and, especially with one game per week, we need to have that fighting during the week.“And I need to make some changes, not just for the short term, but for the long term.“I think we are improving as a squad. We are winning games because we train better, we understand better the game.“We have more options. So it’s more, the consistency from the results is more a squad thing than a starting XI.”Mbeumo has had a great start to life at Man United – scoring five goals in 11 gamesGettyFrank’s concernMeanwhile, Frank feels the extra rest for Man United could prove to be a decisive factor after Tottenham played in midweek.He said: “No doubt it’s an advantage, no doubt.“I said from the beginning we want to be able to compete in both because of where we want to be, we need to be able to perform in Champions League, Europa League and still to perform in the league.“There’s no two ways about it, that’s for the fans, the status, the money, everything, the ambitions, what we want to achieve.“But to have a week to prepare for a game, to have the freshness, that means something.”
