Both clubs need a trophy. Ange Postecoglou always wins one in his second season, Ruben Amorim is looking to make an early mark. Though as Postecoglou pointed out on Wednesday, and as Erik ten Hag discovered, a trophy is not nearly enough in isolation.
\n What else to consider? There’s the Marcus Rashford factor. Will he? Won’t he? Does anyone care anymore? Ange has asked for a big atmosphere, and judging by Southampton last weekend, that will involve Spurs fans taking Daniel Levy’s name in vain. As for United, there’s the win over City to rejoice in, and new hero Amad Diallo.

main events
goal! Tottenham 1-0 Manchester United (Solanke, 15)
Free kick, Polo goes short. Bindir was unable to save the shot from danger and Solanke took the shot. A great finish for the poacher.
15 minutes: Spurs accumulate head of steam. Madison gets fouled and falls back from the front line.
13 minutes: Spike said: “The comments about Ange's work were friendly banter with some journalists and did not provide any serious insight. It comes after he defended having lost his job rather suddenly (most recently at the end of the game against Southampton). He even said in the comments that the terrace chant may need to be rewritten. Lighten up. ”
Yes, I was in the room when he said that and that was the vibe. I think politicians, apart from Starmer, overreacted.
12 minutes: Alas, Eriksen almost played in the panic of Hojlund and Spurs, only for the striker to lose direction.
10 minutes: From Yoro to Polo, via Eriksen and into United's corner. This looped up, with Bissouma scoring a header and Martínez setting up goals for Garryowen and Peter Kay. Goal kick.
9 minutes: Yoro is blocked by Solanke, and Spurs seem to be blocking the pressure on Yoro.
7 minutes: Sarr and Kulusevski almost linked up, but the ball was cleared before Son could get to it. Christian Eriksen, who was a great player for Spurs, is being booed.
5 minutes: Spurs are playing strangely offside, which may recall last season's defeat to Chelsea. United are yet to connect passes. They run around a bit, but that's something.
4 minutes: The forgotten man, Jed Spence, takes on Yoro, but loses to the young man.
3 minutes: Next comes another bindill shank. Be careful with them. Spurs fans are singing a song about Daniel Levy. Spurs are more comfortable here.
2 minutes: A great move from Lenny Yolo, but Tottenham pressed hard, Anthony caught up and Eriksen took Son. A classically speedy Spurs attack.

1 minute: Bindir, who seems to be good with his feet, shanked the ball. Spurs choose to maintain control. Both fans are making quite a bit of noise.
Okay, the team is in the tunnel and Ruben Amorim is happy with himself.
“Let's go, everyone, let's go,'' says Son Heung Min. The team heads to the arena.
Message from Oliver Dungey: “When Luke Shaw plays more than 30 games in a season, Rashford produces a goal every game and a half. If Shaw spends most of the season at the physiotherapist's table, Rashford's goal contribution is reduced to 3-4 games. (or worse…) lay off 250 employees. And raising ticket prices and being particular about players' table manners and dress sense are all well and good (if that's what you're into, which I'm not), but it's all well and good for them to increase their concentration. Could you please tell me a little more about which players play well together on the pitch?
Tom: “This year it turned out to be impossible to organize a Christmas nativity because we didn’t have 19 donkeys and wise men.”
The holiday season begins for the Merry Men of Big Sur Gym.
United have made five changes. From the side that beat Man City. Christian Eriksen replaces Mason Mount. Altai Bajndir will play in place of Andre Onana, while Victor Lindelof and Lenny Yolo will take up central defense. Anthony replaces derby hero Amad Diallo.
Tottenham make just two changes From St. Mary's. Pedro Polo, who played so well against Southampton, has returned to the right wing, while Jed Spence has moved back to the left. Yves Bissouma will replace the suspended Lukas Bergvall.
Ruben Amorim told Sky On leaving Rashford out and leaving Garnacho on the bench: “It's a choice. I feel the players are ready to meet the demands of playing a strong game. I envisioned that all week before making the choice.'' I try to do that.
“It's always the same with every player, not just Marcus. In the end you have to make a choice, and I made it.”
About Garnacho: “Like the other players, he was good. He was ready for the game and I really liked the way he trained. It gave us one more attacking option. He was really fast and He's good one-on-one. We need that kind of ability and he's ready to help us.”
Justin Kavanagh is at: “In the week before Christmas, United will face a team that includes Portuguese forward Ham Fernandes and Turkish goalkeeper Bayndil. Meanwhile, alleged wise men have decided to leave the club by making around 250 employees redundant. “He's behind you!” and he's carrying your P45. Season's greetings from Manchester. ”
I wrote this article a year ago.
It's certainly harder to be the manager of United than Spurs, isn't it? No Rashford tonight.
Rick Harris added: “In the case of Marcus Rashford, what is overlooked is that his numbers are actually quite good for a winger. Obviously not as good as Mo Salah, but better than Jack Grealish or. Better than Anthony Gordon, better than Bukayo Saka.”
Keir Starmer's bagman also weighed in: “It's always difficult for Spurs, isn't it? I think the Prime Minister stands up every day and is focused on delivering the transformation plan, delivering on the priorities of the British people and delivering on the job he was elected to do. .”
Some quotes from the BBCshows a reaction to Ange's comment that her job is harder than anyone else's.
Andy Prendergast, GMB National Secretary, said: “The idea that running a multi-million dollar a year football team is somehow more difficult when you have members working grueling 12-hour shifts struggling to put food on the table.” It only emphasizes this.'' How far out of line are these people? They need to understand the world that the fans who pay their salaries actually live in. ”
Gavin Edwards, head of social care at Unison: “Managing a Premier League team is a very stressful job. But the pay is high and managers need to understand what they are working for. The same goes for medical workers and nursing care staff. It's a stressful job, but without the high wages, bonuses and benefits of the Premier League, so both divisions are struggling to retain talent and vacancy rates remain high. This is to the detriment of all of us and the economy as a whole.”

preamble
Both clubs need trophies. Ange Postecoglou has always won one game in his second year, and Ruben Amorim is hoping to make an early impression. However, as Postecoglou pointed out on Wednesday, and as Erik ten Hag discovered, trophies alone are not enough.
What else do we need to consider? There's also the Marcus Rashford factor. Will he? Isn't that so? Does anyone care anymore? Ange is looking for big atmosphere and given Southampton's decision last weekend, Daniel Levy's name will be wasted by Spurs fans. As for United, they have the win against City to celebrate and a new hero in Amad Diallo.
They're going for the cup. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT. Please join us.
