Man United v Spurs Europa League Preview/Betting Tips
Two sides that had contrasting fortunes in the Europa League in midweek go head-to-head in the late kick-off on Sunday as Manchester United host Tottenham at Old Trafford, with both clubs looking to remain in touching distance of the top four.
The Red Devils were held to a disappointing draw by FC Twente at Old Trafford on Wednesday night which means Erik ten Hag’s men are now winless in two games across all competitions.
Spurs on the other hand cruised to a 3-0 home victory over Qarabag on Thursday – despite seeing defender Radu Dragusin receive a red card after just seven minutes – and are currently on a three-match winning streak across league and cup obligations.

Man United v Spurs Europa League: More pressure on ten Hag
Manchester United may be on a four-match unbeaten run across all competitions but the Red Devils are currently winless in two and this streak could be extended against a Tottenham side showing signs of life this season.
Ten Hag’s men were dominant in terms of possession in draws with Crystal Palace and Twente but were wasteful in front of goal – with just one goal scored across both games from 33 total shots, only 10 of which were on target.
Spurs meanwhile have bounced back from their demoralising 1-0 defeat in the North London derby with two cup victories either side of a 3-1 win at home against a dangerous Brentford side in the league.
Ange Postecoglou’s men came away from Old Trafford last season with a point and, while the visitors would take a draw, their form suggests that they have the talent to come away with more.
Man United v Spurs Europa League: Goals aplenty at Theatre of Dreams
While United have squandered a number of good opportunities in front of goal in recent weeks, they have been involved in relatively high-scoring encounters and Sunday’s meeting should follow a similar theme.
Only two of United’s five matches this season have seen fewer than three goals scored while two of their last three at Old Trafford have also provided winners in the over 2.5 goals market.
The same is true for each of Tottenham’s last three matches in all competitions and so our bet is that there should be plenty to celebrate in front of goal again.
Man United v Spurs Europa League: Brennan could bag once again
Welsh forward Brennan Johnson has been a livewire for Tottenham this season and he could make his presence felt at Old Trafford..
The 23-year-old has scored in each of his last three appearances and no player has taken more shots for Spurs in the Premier League this season than the Welshman with 15.
He also ranks joint highest for shots on target at the club and, if he has his shooting boots on, he is more than capable of finding the back of the net.
