Manchester United's upcoming Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur presents a crucial test of character for Erik ten Hag’s side. Despite making several high-profile signings during the summer transfer window, United have struggled to produce meaningful results. They’ve faltered in both the Premier League and European competitions, raising concerns about the team’s trajectory this season.

The pressure is mounting, and this home fixture against Tottenham could be pivotal in turning their season around or exacerbating the growing doubts about their capabilities. Having drawn their previous Premier League clash against Crystal Palace, with a pretty dismal performance, the demand for a win has only increased on Erik ten Hag.

Test for Erik ten Hag

For Erik ten Hag, the stakes are particularly high. United currently sit 11th in the Premier League table with just two wins, two losses, and a draw from five matches. Questions surrounding the Dutch manager's impact and suitability to lead the team have grown louder with each game. A victory at Old Trafford would not only provide much-needed points but also restore some faith amongst supporters.

However, Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, have proven to be a formidable side this season, meaning United must be at their best to secure a win.
