Former Manchester United legend, Gary Neville, said the following things in an interview after Spurs win against United in January: “He reminded of a cross between Alan [Shearer] and Didier [Drogba] against United. Honestly, it was a brilliant performance from a centre-forward. I’d go as far to say that I think he’s the best centre-forward in Europe."

Tottenham Hotspur is heavily reliant on Hary Kane and is sometimes referred to as the 'Harry Kane Team'. He has had a phenomenal year and has scored 26 goals this season.

Harry Kane was one of the best performers during United's recent loss to Spurs at Wembley and was a constant threat to the Red Devils' defence. Jose Mourinho is known to man-mark important players during crucial games.

Last year, Herrera man-marked Hazard and was one of the reasons why United managed to win against Chelsea. They have to use similar tactics against The Lilywhites in order to be successful.
