Exclusive: Louis Saha previews Manchester United vs Tottenham – Two teams looking for consistency

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has exclusively told Stretty News that he expects an open contest when the Reds host Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Saha is hoping that United can come out on top by getting back to winning ways in the Premier League against Tottenham this weekend. The two teams are seeking consistency while positioned midtable.

It’s a long way off where they both plan to competing at the end of the season. United and Spurs will hope to be part of the top four conversation, but that will take a significant improvement for either of them to achieve at this rate.

United are 11th and Spurs are 10th in the Premier League table.

Saha previewed the game for Stretty News this weekend, as arranged by Crypto Casinos UK, saying: “The relevancy of these two teams winning that game is minimal. You can’t say what a win would do for either club in terms of finishing in the top four because it’s so early in the season.

“Both teams are looking for consistency. Both teams need confidence. If Manchester United can bring a performance similar to what they did at Palace, where the only thing missing was the goal, then I think we will see an interesting game. United played with a midfield that wanted to go forward and they got the balance right

“Tottenham are a really difficult team to play against. I think it will be an interesting game. I hope that Manchester United can come out on top, and I’m expecting it to be a very open contest with a lot of chances for both teams because both teams have some very talented players.”

Saha is also looking forward to seeing how United deal with Tottenham’s attacking threat. The interview took place prior to Thursday night’s Europa League action, hence why he mentions Son, who is now listed as a doubt for the game.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how the Manchester United defenders deal with Tottenham’s attacking threat. Son and Johnson bring a lot of pace to the wide areas, but I have to say, that I’ve been impressed with United’s defence so far this season. I really like Lisandro Martinez and Dalot has been solid for a while now. I also like what the new players have added to the team in Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.”
