Spurs boss Frank downplays Man Utd comparisons
6 Feb
Summary
- Frank acknowledges Man United's advantage due to no European football.
- Carrick has achieved a perfect start with three wins in three matches.
- Spurs face numerous injuries, with 10 players unavailable for the match.
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has acknowledged Michael Carrick's impressive start since taking over at Manchester United. Carrick has guided the team to maximum points in his initial three matches, including a notable victory against Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Frank, however, has stressed that direct comparisons between Tottenham and Manchester United are unfair. He pointed out that Manchester United's current lack of European football provides them with an advantage. Frank stated that teams should be judged when facing similar challenges.
Despite a challenging period with numerous injuries affecting his squad, Frank's team has remained unbeaten in their last four games. Tottenham are currently 14th in the league, 12 points behind Manchester United. The team is preparing for their match at Old Trafford, with Micky van de Ven potentially available after a minor issue.
Several key players are confirmed to be out, including Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, and Richarlison. Djed Spence is also a doubt for the upcoming fixture.
