Paul Merson agrees with pundit on Manchester United vs Tottenham score prediction

Manchester United will be looking to build on Monday night's 1-0 win over Wolves when they travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

United, who are still open to adding further signings to their ranks ahead of the transfer window closing on September 1, scraped past the Black Country outfit, courtesy of a second-half header from Raphael Varane. The Reds were second best for most of the contest and were able to consider themselves fortunate to have started the season with a win.

The Reds will be hoping to produce a much-improved showing in north London on an evening where Ange Postecoglou will take charge of Spurs for the first time in a competitive fixture at home. United have never lost at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will be looking to maintain that record.

However, the Reds struggled against top-half teams away from home last season, taking just four points from a possible 27. It is a record that they must correct this season.

"I also see Tottenham as a work in progress at the moment. They dominated possession in their draw with Brentford last week
