Tottenham vs Manchester United head to head stats: The two league heavyweights will meet this weekend at the Wembley Stadium.
Manchester United have had a disappointing campaign in the Premier League, but the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has rejuvenated the side. The team is yet to draw or lose a game in the five matches under his charge, and proceeded to the fourth round of the FA Cup last night.
Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, have been one of the title challengers this season. Despite facing a stunning defeat against Wolves in the final game of 2018, the side is six points behind league leaders Liverpool at third place in the table.
However, they face a tough test this weekend as an in-form Manchester United pays them a visit at the Wembley Stadium.
As both the sides meet each other, we take a look at Tottenham vs Manchester United head to head stats.

Ole: “Most of these players have started a game anyway, Rom and Alexis they are starters normally. It’s about time to start them. Give young Scott a chance. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to put themselves in the frame for Tottenham.” #mufc [BT]
