Bottom side Spurs have W5 D3 L2 in last 10 meetings with Man United
Post
๐ฐ Bottom-placed Tottenham chase a first win against a side they have had the better of lately.
๐ Key points
๐ Spurs are W5 D3 L2 in the last 10 meetings, scoring 17 and conceding 13.
๐ In 2024-25 they did a first league double over United and won the Europa League final.
๐ United won the most recent meeting 2-0 in February to end their winless run.
๐ United lead the all-time record from 207 games: 97 wins, 52 draws, 58 defeats.
๐ Spurs are bottom on two points; United are 12th on five.
๐ What happened
๐ Tottenham have had United's number recently. They have won five, drawn three and lost two of the last 10 meetings, scoring 17 and conceding 13. In 2024-25 they completed a Premier League double over United for the first time and beat them in the Europa League final in May 2025.
๐ That run ended in February. On 7 February 2026, goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes gave United a 2-0 win at Old Trafford, ending their winless sequence against Spurs.
๐ The long view favours United. In 207 meetings in all competitions, United have won 97 and Spurs 58, with 52 draws. In the Premier League it is 40 United wins, 13 Spurs wins and 15 draws from 68 games. Wayne Rooney holds the fixture's Premier League scoring record with 11 goals against Spurs.
๐ Both sides have struggled this season. Spurs have two draws and three defeats (two points) and only two goals in five games. United have one win, two draws and two defeats (five points), with eight scored and eight conceded.
๐ By the numbers
โข Last 10 meetings: Spurs W5 D3 L2 (17 scored, 13 conceded)
โข All-time, 207 games: United 97 wins, 52 draws, 58 defeats
โข Premier League, 68 games: United 40, draws 15, Spurs 13
โข Spurs this season: two goals in five games
๐ What to watch
โฝ Spurs' firepower โ two goals in five games will not bring a first win. They averaged 1.7 goals a game in the last 10 meetings; can they rediscover that?
๐งฑ Van de Ven and Van Hecke โ both came back from Netherlands duty without serious injury, and have started every league game together this season.
๐ฅ United at home โ Carrick has only one league win. Repeating February's home win over Spurs would ease the pressure.
๐ญ Why it matters
A Spurs win could lift them out of the bottom three, while defeat would turn up the heat on Carrick. The first game after the break matters hugely to both.
The game is on Saturday 10 October at Old Trafford.
