Jose Mourinho can make Man Utd v Spurs the game of the season - Martin Keown
That is according to pundit and former Arsenal defender Martin Keown. The Portuguese coach has been criticised for his negative tactics against fellow title-rivals.
This, after Mourinho sent his side to Anfield and simply settled for a 0-0 draw in an anti-climatic game.
But with league leaders Manchester City looking strong at present, United will need a positive result against Spurs on Saturday to keep the pressure on at the top.
And Keown believes the clash can be the tie of the season so far, if Mourinho tells his side to attack.
"Both Mourinho and Pochettino are striving for perfection and to compete with Guardiola that's what you need" Martin Keown I just hope that Jose Mourinho lets his team play, he told the Daily Mail.
He pulled up the handbrake at Anfield and United seemed unable to get back into gear at Huddersfield.
In any other country you feel Jose would be top of the league right now but with Manchester City you cannot rest on your laurels. Both Mourinho and Pochettino are striving for perfection and to compete with Guardiola that's what you need.
With this match at Old Trafford, the onus will be on United to play expansively and openly — not least from the fans.
If this happens, it could be the best game of the season so far. Spurs currently sit behind United on goal difference in third position, while Pep Guardiolas City are five points clear at the top.
