MANCHESTER UNITED MATCH PACK : THE BIG TRIP TO TOTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM

Rejuvenated! Revitalized! Reinvigorated!  Whatever adjective you choose to describe Manchester United’s rediscovered form under caretaker manager Ole Gunner Solskijier you can be rest assured that you choose, “positive”, the adjective you choose Manchester United's current form will do justice to the blistering form Manchester United is currently enjoying thanks to the clubs new caretaker manager.

Thanks also to the Manchester United players for taking the problems limiting the club from succeeding and solving the issue through pure, consistent, attacking football. Kudos lads! 

Yes, the winning feeling feels ever so great to both football players and football fans alike. Especially when the winning feeling is circulated around a great club filled with the rich history of being victorious. Manchester United is back and back with a bang but will the clubs new hunger for success be enough to undo the damage already done? With the big hitter clubs such as Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City relentlessly plowing their way through various clubs as the top four clubs retain their position at the top of the table, Manchester United might have staggered a little too much at the start of the race to end the race as winners. Manchester United are fighters and if there is one thing that is certain is that, caretaker manager, Ole Gunner Solskijier and the Manchester United players will not stop plugging away with good attacking football as their main weapon until the last match of the season ends.

There is no denying that Manchester United under the shepherding of the legend Ole Gunner Solskijier has simply hit the transformation bottom and transformed from a struggling 1992 Volkswagon to the present day 2018, silky, Toyota Camry functional Manchester United we see before us this midway point in the current season. Pretty impressive performance for a temporary manager who was only brought in to typically occupy an empty managerial position and help Manchester United avoid as much loss as possible. Not necessarily increase Manchester United's win collum but avoid increasing Manchester United’s loss column as much as possible until the end of the 2018-2019. Ole Gunner Solskijier is definitely doing a good job showing his overachieving skills so far in his short run as Manchester United manager even if Manchester United is yet to face a serious test while under the watch of the legendary "baby faced assassin."

Honeymoon phase over as Manchester United come face to face with the true test of how well and true Manchester United's new change of pace really is as Ole Gunner Solskijer’s men visit the dreaded Tottenham Stadium. Home to a Totenham team who have been nothing short of sublime since the start of this season and for the majority of the current season. From one perspective, there is more than likely a 70 % chance that the google search bar is likely to suggest the phrase Manchester United in response to every single time the letter “M” is typed into the search bar throughout the entire weekend and one major reason might be because of the immense amount of people searching for any sought of Manchester United news which will provide some extra positivity and extra confidence needed as Ole Gunner Solskijier head into Tottenham HotSpurs, home to one of the consistent, inform, attacking team since the start of the season.

Look, the good news for Manchester United is that under the short guidance of Ole Gunner Solskijier, Manchester United have rediscovered their fighting spirit and Manchester United have also recaptured that superb quality that makes the Red Devils Manchester United. There is no doubt under Ole Gunner Solskijier Manchester United possess a small, good, opportunity of breaking into the top four positions in the Premier League table this season. However, statistically speaking and considering the fact that Tottenham holds the ever important home advantage this weekend, realistically Tottenham is the odds on favorite to come out of this weekends match with a victory.

Although the fact might still remain that if a survey where to be taken prior to kick off asking which club is most favorite to come out on top after tonight's final whistle Tottenham should be expected to win this weekends match. No surprise there because judging from the collective performance of both clubs from the start of the current season to the start of this weekends game, the expectation quite rightly will be for Tottenham to hold the overwhelming advantage over Manchester United simply because Mauricio Pochetinho’s men have been participating quite remarkably ever since the start of the 2018/19 season.

However, with the help of some small research conducted by The MANCHESTERUNITEDPOST site, according to the recent tallies Tottenham surprisingly is in fact NOT the favorites to take all 3 points at the end of this weekends match against Manchester United. Yes according to a popular website "TheBettingDirectory", as of Friday, 4 January, Manchester United holds a 2.08 odds of winning this weekends match over Tottenham's 1.79 odds. Granted not a great margin to subsequently claim Manchester United automatic winners even before match day arrives, but this statistics does, in fact, inject even more positivity into a Manchester United club who has started to make their way out a massive problem called stagnant progression.

Will Ole Gunner Solskijiers current progress as Manchester United temporary manager be rendered irrelevant with a loss to Tottenham this weekend? Absolutely not! maintaining Manchester United’s high success rate established under the reign of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson was always going to be a heavy mantle for any manager to bear and good managers have tried only to successfully the clubs reputation and sink the glazers stock price to an uncomfortable area close to the bottom line in the stock market. Ole Gunner Solskijiers temporary position has not only rejuvenated the clubs performance on the field but the Norwegian managers' appointment has also inflated the pockets of Manchester United owners in a mere month since his appointment as Manchester United caretaker manager.

Win or loose in this weekends game away from Old Trafford against a very good Totenham team the result must not undermine the progress done in Manchester United by the Norwegian manager. Since Ole Gunner Solskijier caretaker managerial began, Manchester United have recovered the form the club had lost from the damage caused to the last three manchester united managers after the era of Sir Alex Ferguson. Manchester United will come into this weekends game with a seemingly full healthy squad after the recent return of out of commission players Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

Defender Eric Baily  will  be unavailable for tonights match as the Ivory Coast international concludes the final missed match out of the three-match suspension. The defender will be serving his final match suspension after he picked up a straight red card as a result of a needless, reckless, tackle on a Bournemouth player. At the moment, Manchester United will most likely start off this weekends game against Tottenham with the center back pairing of Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof. The truth remains that this weekends center back pairing might not be Manchester United's typical first choice center back but given minor injuries and suspension the team is fair, the pair will just have to be enough to start tonight's match.
