Manchester United will attempt the erase the memory of last Sunday’s woeful defeat to Brighton when they welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford on Monday night.
A 3-2 defeat at the Amex Stadium has seen pressure grow on manager Jose Mourinhowith the spotlight once again focused on his relationship with Paul Pogba, who has captained his side in their two opening matches of the season.
Tottenham have had their share of distractions too after their move to the new stadium at White Hart Lane was delayed, but at least these have been limited to off-the-field issues.
While the north Londoners still don’t know when they will be able to move into their new home, it has been business as usual for Mauricio Pochettino on the pitch with Spurs taking two wins from two so far this term – with Harry Kane already ending his August hoodoo.
