Manager’s Plan

Manchester United manager Ralf Ranging is aware of the strength of Tottenham Hotspur. While speaking to the club media, he said,

They play with a back three and it is a very compact shape. They are probably one of the best teams in transitional moments with Heung Min-Son and Harry Kane. This is what we have to be aware of and prepared for, to not give them those transitional moments. But at the same time, they also lost against teams like Middlesbrough, Wolves, and Burnley. In all respects, if Middlesbrough, Burnley, and Wolverhampton can beat them, we can also beat them in our own stadium and this is what we have to do, this is our job today.
