Posted by Vinay at 11:52am October 29th, 2010Wayne Rooney’s recent antics have hardly endeared him to the Manchester United fans and, though Sir Alex Ferguson has apparently forgiven him, he may find the Old Trafford faithful less forgiving. Rooney will be absent for a few weeks yet, however, as will former England colleague Michael Owen. But the Mancunians already have a new hero in the shape of Javier Hernandez.
Tottenham go to Old Trafford determined to end a winless run at the Theatre Of Dreams that stretches back to when a Gary Lineker goal gave them a narrow victory in 1989. The signing of Rafael van der Vaart has certainly added a different dimension to Harry Redknapp’s team this season, it’s just a pity that they’ve been missing key players at times or their league position would have been more representative of their ability. They would, however, leapfrog United with a rare victory at Old Trafford and will be keen to exploit the in-form Gareth Bale down the right side of the United defence where the home side have looked most vulnerable this campaign
You would think that Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic would be happier up against Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko than facing someone like Jermaine Defoe, however, and Dimitar Berbatov has enjoyed himself against his former team-mates at the other end of the field in the past. There should be goals to enjoy but I just can’t see Spurs outscoring United on home soil.
