Man United vs Tottenham Preview

Man United vs Tottenham at Old Trafford, and the two clubs have never looked more alike. United fan Mike, founder of TA Outdoors, joins Jim to preview the game: two squads that look far better on paper than the table says, players whose heads drop the moment they concede, home grounds that have started to feel like away grounds, and managers in Carrick and De Zerbi both being linked with the sack for “El Sackico”. Who has the danger man? Mike picks Cunha, Jim picks Savio up against Luke Shaw.

Plus the Rashford, Cunha and Šeško puzzle up front, why Brighton and Brentford mean the old “big six” is gone, whether no European football helps Spurs the way it helped United last season, the United fan who won’t cut his hair, and a trivia question that Mike walks straight into. Did you know David Beckham spent four years in Tottenham’s school of excellence before joining United?

To finish, something different for the weekend. Mike explains how to make soap from silver birch leaves, and why learning trees and fungi is the best way to get kids outdoors.
