da pinup bet： This weekend’s heavyweight clash witnesses Tottenham travel to Old Trafford to take on Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United. As it stands, the north Londoners are six points clear of the Red Devils with ‘Mou’s’ side looking to have turned a corner on the field.
da bet vitoria： Despite the lack of victories of late, Man United have outplayed their opposition on each occasion over the past three weeks, with only for top class performances from goalkeepers at Old Trafford such as Tom Heaton and Darren Randolph, stopping them turning one point into three.
Tottenham’s form of late has not bene overly special either, but they did manage a heavy victory over Swansea last weekend, which they followed with a Champions League beating of CSKA Moscow in midweek, so confidence is returning.
Ahead of the clash of the titans, FootballFanCast has opened the vault and looked back at the FIVE best goals scored by Man United players against Spurs in recent years…
Ryan Giggs – 1992
For those young enough to remember, Ryan Giggs was the hottest young prospect in British football when Manchester United travelled to White Hart Lane in 1992.
The inaugural Premier League campaign witnessed Giggs claim the PFA Young Player Of The Year award for such displays as the one he put in against Tottenham. This goal perfectly sums up Giggs’ combo of pace, agility and ability to finish under pressure.
United went on to win their first league title in 26 years later in this campaign, with the Welshman a crucial member of the squad.
David Beckham – 1999
Rewind to the final day of the Premier League season in 1999. Manchester United played host to Tottenham needing a victory to secure the Premier League title ahead of Arsenal.
Spurs went in front through a Les Ferdinand goal before David Beckham took proceedings into his hands.
His stunning strike from a narrow-angle perfectly summed up his potency from the right-wing. From a daisy-cutting pass, Beckham somehow bent the ball into the far left corner of Ian Walker’s goal.
Man United won the game and the league title.
Nani – 2007
Portuguese winger Nani was identified as the ideal replacement Cristiano Ronaldo, for the dreaded day CR7 departed Old Trafford.
Nani made his home debut against Tottenham in August 2007 and made quite the impression on the Old Trafford faithful.
This stunning thirty-yard strike was the perfect way to kick-start his career at the then English champions. Nani’s career at Man United never hit the heights that were expected following his impressive debut for the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo – 2008
The legendary figure Cristiano Ronaldo managed to secure Manchester United all three points against Tottenham in 2008 when the Portuguese star inspired a comeback from 2-0 down at half-time.
During the Sir Alex Ferguson era, Man United were notorious for turning games around whatever the scoreline and Ronaldo’s celebration further highlighted the importance of such goals.
Ronaldo secured all three points for Man United as they attempted to increase the lead at the top of the Premier League table ahead of bitter rivals Liverpool.
Wayne Rooney – 2015
Wayne Rooney’s record against Tottenham is incredibly impressive, and in March 2015 his fine solo goal against the Lilywhites proved the English forward still had the ability to play at the summit of the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side were outclassed by Louis van Gaal’s men and suffered a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
Rooney’s solo goal secured United the three points and continued the Red Devils’ impressive home form against the north London outfit.
