Pre-match statistics clearly indicate that the Tottenham Hotspur are one of Manchester United's most challenging rivals in the last decade, with Man Utd failing to win in six consecutive league matches against Spurs.
On 7 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Manchester United, under Michael Carrick's leadership, is on an upward trajectory as they prepare to welcome Tottenham Hotspur, who have been in decline, to Old Trafford for a Premier League match this Saturday evening.
However, despite the Red Devils' strong recent form, their recent record against the Tottenham Hotspur has been unfavorable.
A Streak Over 100 Years Old
Believe it or not, Manchester United has failed to beat Spurs in six consecutive Premier League matches (3 draws, 3 losses), marking their longest winless streak against Spurs since 1914-1921, over 100 years ago.
Man Utd's last league victory over Spurs dates back to October 2022, when they won 2-0 at home.
Results of the last six Premier League meetings:
Spurs 2-2 Man Utd
Spurs 1-0 Man Utd
Man Utd 0-3 Spurs
Man Utd 2-2 Spurs
Spurs 2-0 Man Utd
Spurs 2-2 Man Utd
These figures confirm that Spurs have been one of Man Utd’s most troublesome opponents in recent times.
Spurs Winless in Six Matches
On the visitors' side, Tottenham Hotspur, managed by Thomas Frank, are currently struggling with form, failing to secure a Premier League win in six straight matches, compounded by numerous injuries leaving the squad far from full strength.
More Than Just Three Points at Stake
At Old Trafford, the stakes go beyond three points; this match is a critical test of whether Manchester United can break a nearly four-year-old curse, while Spurs seek a victory to end their poor run and regain confidence.
