Prediction: 1-2
Manchester United
All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Tottenham and Manchester United lock horns in the Premier League round 2. Spurs continue life without key player Harry Kane, who joined Bayern Munich at the weekend and, in his absence, Richarlison will lead the line for the capital club. Cristian Romero should be fit for Saturday’s derby despite limping off with injury in a 2-2 draw with Brentford, while all Bryan Gil, Sessegnon, Bentancur, and goalkeeper Fraser Forster remain in the treatment room.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, did well to keep hold of key players Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Casemiro in the summer transfer window and given Spurs’ difficulties at the back, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. Summer signing Rasmus Hojlund misses out with a back injury, while Anthony Martial should be fit for the match.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
Highlighted Team (Tottenham):
Tottenham Hotspur are a professional football club based in North London. Spurs host their rivals at White Hart Lane and the capacity of the stadium is 36,284. Tottenham won the Premier League (First Division) trophy in 1950/1951 and 1960/1961 and despite producing terrific displays in the 2015/2016 campaign Mauro Pochettino’s team eventually finished the season in third place in the standings.
Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title.
Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1). The likes of David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gary Lineker, Luka Modric, Robbie Keane and Gareth Bale are star players that used to play for the White Hart Lane outfit in the past. The colour of Tottenham Hotspur’s home kit is white.
