At the start of the season, few would have envisaged this game being a clash between the sides placed 13th and 14th in the Premier League.
United were doing marginally better of the two but things are still not settled at Old Trafford and boss Ruben Amorim was looking for a much better performance than the one that resulted in a 2-1 FA Cup win over Leicester City last weekend.
Spurs are out of the cup after going down 2-1 at Aston Villa and Ange Postecoglou knows he is running out of time.
