Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

SURE ODDS BANNER

Old Trafford is the place to be for this weekend’s Premier League main event, as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur square off in a clash of the English titans.

Erik ten Hag‘s men and Ange Postecoglou‘s side both return to top-flight duty on the back of contrasting starts to their Europa League campaigns, as the Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw with FC Twente while 10-man Spurs ran out 3-0 winners over Qarabag.

In terms of domestic results, Man United had to settle for a goalless draw away to Crystal Palace in their last Premier League affair, while the Lilywhites fought back from a goal down to sink London rivals Brentford 3-1.

However, little can separate both sides in mid-table obscurity, with Spurs in 10th place and Man United residing in 11th spot, and only the visitors’ superior goal difference is keeping them in the top half at the expense of Ten Hag’s crop.

Ahead of Sunday’s enticing showdown, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record between the two clubs.

Man United comfortably lead the overall head-to-head record between these two sides, winning 88 of their previous 172 meetings, while Tottenham have 44 victories, and there have also been 40 draws.

The Red Devils have scored 282 times against Spurs throughout history, meanwhile, conceding 215, while the 20-time English champions have also dominated their Premier League encounters, recording 39 wins, while they have only ever lost 11 times to Tottenham in the Premier League.

Spurs recorded a 2-0 victory over Man United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in August 2023, which proved to be their first success against the Red Devils since winning 6-1 at Old Trafford in October 2020.

However, the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in 2023-24 finished 2-2.

The North London outfit have actually only won two of their last 11 league clashes with Man United, but two of their last three victories over them have come at Old Trafford, having also won 3-0 in August 2018.

Wayne Rooney is Man United’s all-time leading Premier League goalscorer against Tottenham, finding the back of the net on 11 occasions.

However, the overall record is held by Denis Law, who struck 14 goals against Spurs, with Sir Bobby Charlton in second on 12, while Bobby Smith (11) and Jimmy Greaves (11) are also in the top five with Rooney.
