Man Utd midfielder McTominay: Where we can hurt Tottenham

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is under no illusions facing Tottenham today.

But he can see ways they can hurt Tottenham.

“[They are] a good team who are well-organised and play a little bit different to maybe some other teams in the league, and it's a little bit more unorthodox with a high line," McTominay told ICS.

“It's going to be an exciting game and you see a similar scenario against Aston Villa whenever they played in such a high line.

“The game can be quite open and it's up to us to close it, but also to be consistent in the way that we approach it by moving the ball and trying to dictate the game as much as possible.

“I feel like Tottenham are a really, really good team.

“They had a really strong start to the season and they're going to be coming in full strength. They want to beat us on our own patch and we need to be there and ready to not let that happen.

“They're posing a different challenge this season to what they have done [in] previous seasons.

“It's a game that we're really looking forward to, especially before a break, which can almost cement a good building block.

“If we do well, we perform and we do everything that we [need to] stick to the game plan, then it can set us up [well] when we get back from a small break."
