Danny Murphy thinks Tottenham is in a great place compared to Manchester United going into the new season, boasting the better squad and likely finishing above the Red Devils in the Premier League table.
Spurs finished fourth last season and have had an impressive summer in the transfer market, with Richarlison, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Clement Lenglet.
Manchester United have brought in Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen, who cannot use Champions League football to attract players, which Tottenham can do.
Comparing the two teams and their credentials this season, former Liverpool star Murphy thinks there is a distinctly superior club out there and he’s looking forward to Spurs picking up some silverware during the campaign ahead.
“Looking at last season’s results and their business in the summer transfer window, I would support Tottenham to finish above United again and also win a much-anticipated trophy for them,” Murphy told the BBC. Daily mail.
United were second a few years ago but it stuck over the cracks because you never felt the manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took full control and the players felt it. Ten Hag is disciplined and ruthless, just what United need, but Conte is the same with the bonus of already being tested in the Premier League.
Which team would you rather have? I think Conte will be happy with what he has. He can choose a front three from Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Richarlison. If Ronaldo goes, United Jadon SanchoAnthony Martial and Marcus Rashford. It’s not the same.
‘While Ten Hag is clear what he wants, he cannot proceed without the right ammunition. Meanwhile, Daniel Levy supports Conte like no other manager. I think the 14-year streak could end without a trophy this season.”
