Erik Ten Hag’s men will want to return to winning ways after a goalless draw against Newcastle United.
A lack of creativity in midfield, few attacking options at Erik ten Hag’s disposal and wasted chances saw the Magpies walk away with a point.
It was evident that the lack of depth in the team left the Red Devils without options to inspire a victory.
The solution against the Spurs
Manchester would have wanted to field both Christian Eriksen and Anthony Martial on Wednesday against Spurs.
The two stars could have injected some much-needed fluidity and sharpness early on.
However, there was no sign of any of United’s stars in United’s latest training video (via MUTV).
Both players possess unique individual traits that can make the team better against a hard-to-beat Spurs side currently sitting third in the Premier League table.
Martial’s pace and tricks, coupled with a ruthless finishing ability, was something United lacked in their lofty draw against the Magpies.
Christian Eriksen brings poise, creates scoring opportunities and has a long-range shot that is nothing to scoff at.
United plagued by injuries
At this afternoon’s press conference, Ten Hag confirmed that Martial remains out with a back injury against Everton, while doubts remain about Eriksen due to illness.
Ten Hag and the Old Trafford faithful will be crossing their fingers and toes in the hope that the Danish maestro recovers in time to face his former club.
This game could be pivotal in a period full of tough fixtures and a win here could go a long way in UNITED’s battle to finish in the top four.
