“I mean, this is like two pub teams, isn’t it?" - Jamie Carragher predicts result for PL clash between Tottenham and Manchester United

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has predicted Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur to play out a 1-1 draw in the Premier League on Sunday, February 16. The Red Devils go into this game placed 13th in the standings, only a place and two points ahead of Spurs.

Ange Postecoglou is having to deal with multiple injury concerns, which may give Ruben Amorim's team the advantage in this match. However, Carragher doesn't believe so and told It’s Called Soccer (via The Boot Room):

“I mean, this is like two pub teams, isn’t it? It is, isn’t it? I mean, what is this? The Red Lion vs The Dog and Duck?”

Providing his scoreline prediction, the ex-Reds star said:

“You know what Man United do okay away from home, in sort of big stadium, but Tottenham beat them a few weeks ago. I think this will be 1-1, because I think Man United will go there, but they’re back five, sit there, try and make it awkward, try and nix up them. And I’m not sure Tottenham have got enough to score a few goals, even the energy."

“And I don’t think Man United have got the quality. I’m gonna go 1-1."

The north Londoners are struggling with injuries, with the likes of Cristiano Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie, among others, on the sidelines.

Manchester United managed to defeat Leicester 2-1 in the fourth round of the FA Cup in their previous match. Meanwhile, Spurs were beaten by Aston Villa in their cup tie.
