Tottenham Hotspur’s manager Jose Mourinho is all set to face his former side Manchester United on Friday night. If Tottenham Hotspur loses this match, they will be almost out of the top four race. So, on such a special occasion, the Special one will certainly deploy his own strategies. Tottenham Hotspur was clearly struggling ahead of the break because of various injury problems. However, the break came just at the right time for them. In the meantime, two of their star attacking players are back in contention. Harry Kane and Son-Heung Min are able to change the course of the match anytime in favour of their side. Jose Mourinho will certainly try to neutralize the attacking threats of Manchester United in the first half and in the second half he can use the pace of the players like Lucas Moura. However, the defensive unit of Tottenham Hotspur is not looking quite settled. So, it will be a very difficult task for them to nullify the attacking impetus of the Red Devils. 

On the other hand, Ole Gunnar Solakjaer’s men were trying to gain momentum just before the break. The inclusion of Bruno Fernandes in the squad pushed a positive impact on the whole side. Paul Pogba is now also fit to play the match. Still, the manager might use him in the second half because of the long break. Marcus Rashford is in great form this season. Manchester United will be eyeing to seal a win in this match to put a step forward to make their mark in the Champions League next season.
