Manchester United's season has spluttered into second gear with a run of three successive victories but the sceptics are not convinced and Erik Ten Hag's side face the ultimate test of their credentials at home to Manchester City this weekend.
Dutchman Ten Hag was staring into the abyss when his side trailed Brentford 1-0 with stoppage time looming earlier this month but two late goals spared his blushes.
Wins are wins, however, and the mood will be a little more buoyant as they prepare to host Pep Guardiola's City, who themselves are back in the groove after a slight blip. While United have flattered to deceive this season, victory on Sunday would move them to within three points of City and former City striker Sergio Aguero warns that United can be dangerous when up against the wall.
The 20-year-old is yet to score in the Premier League and unkind comparisons with City's goal machine Erling Haaland are obvious, if unfair. Sunday would be a good time for the youngster to make a statement. Ange Postecoglou has revitalised Tottenham in quick time since arriving from Celtic but the Australian is not getting carried away and offered a dose of reality after Monday's home win against Fulham.
