Former Manchester United and England striker Michael Owen is expecting the Red Devils to come out on top when they face Tottenham this evening.

It could be the first time that supporters see both Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes on the same pitch during a competitive game, and Owen is one of the many who can’t wait to see what the pair can produce:

“United fans are likely to be licking their lips at the prospect of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes starting together for the first time in what could become a midfield partnership to compare with any other in world football. They will also be delighted to see Marcus Rashford back and fit again.”

“Manchester United’s form was improving drastically before the Premier League break. They went five games unbeaten in the league, including wins over Chelsea and Manchester City whereas Spurs seemed to be going in the opposite direction. Assuming that both teams pick up where they left off, I fancy United to secure a solid away win.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suggested that Pogba may well be eased back into first-team football, with his last game having been in December, so he is not a guaranteed starter for tonight’s game.

However, even if the Frenchman is missing, United should be capable of coming away with the three points from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs have really struggled for consistency since the appointment of Jose Mourinho and while they may have Harry Kane back for the game, his lack of match sharpness is likely to be a factor in his performance.

Going on form, you would have to make United the favourites heading into this game.
