Tottenham vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (19 August)

Tottenham remains on a disappointing last year, closed in an insufficient 8th place in the Premier League. With 1 point behind the 7th, the London team just missed a European qualification. The departure of coach Antonio Conte in March did not have the expected effects. This summer, the Spurs turned an important page in their history with the departures of the two captains Kane and Lloris.

The task of the new coach Ange Postecoglou looks difficult but the workforce remains qualitative. Last weekend, Heug-Min Son's teammates started the championship with a points split conceded to Brentford 2-2.

For Tottenham, the usual Uruguayan midfielder Bentancur is still not available this weekend. This is also the case for substitutes Forster, Whiteman (goalkeepers), Sessegnon (full-back), Ndombélé (midfielder) and Bryan Gil (winger), all of whom have not fully recovered from their physical glitches. This summer was marked by the departure of the top scorer in the history of the club Kane (Bayern Munich) pending that of captain Lloris. In addition, midfielder Winks (Leicester) and winger Lucas Moura were transferred while loanees Lenglet and Danjuma were not retained. In the direction of arrivals, the Spurs looked at the profiles of goalkeeper Vicario (Empoli), winger Solomon (Shakhtar, Fulham), striker Véliz (Rosario, 11 goals last season), young defender Phillips (Blackburn), solid defender van de Ven (Wolfsburg) and excellent attacking midfielder Maddison (Leicester). In addition, full-back Porro (Sporting) and winger Kukulevski (Juventus) have been signed up after their loan. Captain against Brentford, winger Son (10 goals and 6 assists in PL) must play a major role, as must newcomer Maddison (10 goals and 9 assists in PL) and the disappointing Richarlison (1 goal in PL). Manchester United side are still missing the striker who arrived this summer from Atalanta Hojlund, the left-back Malacia and the less important Heaton, Mainoo and Diallo, all on the flank. In addition, the former Greenwood nugget remains away from the group because of his legal troubles.

In addition to the Dane Hojlund, the Red Devils broke the piggy bank to secure the services of goalkeeper Onana (ex-Inter) and attacking midfielder Mount (ex-Chelsea). Formed at Manchester United, the veteran defense Evans (35, ex-Leicester) arrived free to make the number. Conversely, the promising Swedish winger Elanga (Nottingham Forest) left the club, as did goalkeeper De Gea and midfielder Fred (Fenerbahce). Ditto for Austrian midfielder Sabitzer and Dutch striker Weghorst, whose loans were inconclusive. Last Monday, Varane delivered the Red Devils with a furious whim. Casemiro acts as a taulier in the midfield. In the offensive field, take place the essential Bruno Fernandes (8 goals and 8 assists in PL) and Rashford (17 goals and 5 assists in PL).
