Tottenham host Manchester United in a big Premier League clash this weekend in Ange Postecoglou’s first home game in charge since joining from Celtic in the summer

Tottenham and Manchester United will go head-to-head on Saturday night with both sides having something to prove after the opening weekend.
There were signs of promise, and also frailty, for Ange Postecoglou’s team after the action-packed 2-2 draw with Brentford last Sunday, the first clash of the post-Harry Kane era. The former Celtic boss is still searching for a replacement in the summer transfer window ahead of his opening bow in front of a home crowd.
United meanwhile, got a winning start against Wolves, but in truth Raphael Varane’s second-half header papered over the cracks of a disjointed display. And for all his defiance over the late VAR controversy that saw the visitors denied a penalty, Erik ten Hag knows his side must show vast improvements.
When is Tottenham vs Man Utd?
Manchester United’s trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will kick off at 5.30pm on Saturday.
Neutrals might crave a repeat of the last time the two sides met at the London venue, which resulted in a 2-2 draw. The Red Devils had led 2-0 at half time before Spurs stormed back.
The point proved an important one for United though, who went on to secure third place and a return to the Champions League. On the contrary, Spurs contrived to miss out on European football for the first time since the 2008/09 campaign.
How to watch?
This will be the fourth of the five Premier League games being played on Saturday and one of five live clashes being shown over the course of the weekend. It will be on Sky Sports and coverage starts from 5pm.
