Man United vs Tottenham Premier League Tips & Prediction
Man United are tipped to pile more misery on embattled Tottenham, with Bryan Mbeumo continuing his red-hot scoring form against Spurs when the two sides clash at Old Trafford on Saturday.
It's been a shocking start to the Premier League season for both sides.
United have picked up just five points, which is their equal-worst return after five games in the top flight since 1989-90.
Michael Carrick's side are winless in their last four domestic games and look flat, lethargic and without any creative spark.
Meanwhile, it's been peak 'Spursy' to open the season, with Roberto De Zerbi's side anchored to the bottom of the ladder before the break.
Tottenham have been shambolic going forward, only scoring two late consolation goals in their opening five EPL outings, while they rank 14th for shots on target.
Their midfield - led by high-profile recruits Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes - are struggling to unlock space moving up the pitch and it's resulting in very few chances in the final third. Savio looks lively, but still lacks a finishing product.
So United are tipped to bounce back and register all three points at Old Trafford, with extra value on a win to nil given Tottenham's attacking woes. Mbeumo has a great record against Spurs and can get on the scoresheet again here.

Man United Form Analysis
After such a bright end to last season, it's been a horrible start to the new campaign for Michael Carrick and his United side.
An opening day defeat to Hull was a sign that things weren't clicking for United and they've managed just one win in the league - and they had to come from behind in that game to get the better of newly-promoted Ipswich at home.
After being throttled by Brighton at home in the EFL Cup - shortly after losing to cross-town rivals Man City at home in controversial circumstances - United produced another lacklustre display away to Fulham before the break, needing a late deflected goal from Matheus Cunha in the 88th minute to come away with a 1-1 draw.
Man United Team News
Benjamin Sesko (shin), Patrick Dorgu (hamstring) and Noussair Mazraoui (back) all picked up injuries over the international break and are in some doubt for this one.
Manuel Ugarte (knee), Matthijs de Ligt (back) and Tom Heaton (thigh) remain sidelined, but Amad Diallo is a chance to feature for the first time this season after recovering from an ankle injury.
Carlos Baleba could also make his debut after arriving in the summer from Brighton.
Man United Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Senne Lammens; Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans; Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes, Josh Zirkzee; Matheus Cunha
Tottenham Form Analysis
Embarrassing start to the season for Spurs - they are rock bottom after five games and don't look close to challenging for a top six finish at the moment.
Of course De Zerbi needs time to form combinations in this new-look squad, but at the moment everything is out of sync. It's like 11 random players have assembled for a new season and nobody knows what they're doing.
Tottenham failed to score in their opening four league games and were 3-0 down at home to Aston Villa before poaching two late consolation strikes after half the stadium had emptied in disgust.
Tottenham Team News
Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert (also knee) and Mykhaylo Mudryk (ankle) all remain sidelined with injuries, while Micky van de Ven (finger) and Jan Paul van Hecke (foot) picked up knocks during the international break and are in some doubt.
Spanish World Cup winner Pedro Porro is also missing with a thigh problem, so Archie Gray should get the nod at right fullback again.
Dominic Solanke has scored three goals in his last four games against United and should start this one.
Tottenham Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Antonín Kinsky; Archie Gray, Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven, Andy Robertson; Rodrigo Bentancur, Sandro Tonali; Savio, Mateus Fernandes, Omar Marmoush; Dominic Solanke
Verdict
Spurs are in shambles - United not much better, but should have enough to win this at home, with some value on a clean sheet.
