Ian Wright has admitted that he has ‘loved’ the scenes Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United fans have been involved this season.
Both clubs have scored stoppage-time winners this season. Both were on home soil against Liverpool and Brentford, respectively.
Pedro Porro’s cross was deflected into the back of the net by Joel Matip a number of weeks ago during that now-infamous Tottenham win over Liverpool.
Wright was recently looking back on that footage and stated ‘I loved the excitement of the crowd’, as he told Premier League Productions (09/10/23 at 2:55 pm).
And, most recently, the under-pressure Erik ten Hag watched his Manchester United side score two goals in stoppage-time to beat Brentford.
And Wright also stated that he ‘loved’ to see and hear the celebrations from the Old Trafford crowd.
Tottenham and Manchester United fans
“I loved the excitement of the crowd,” said Wright when watching back Spurs’ winning goal against Liverpool.
“I know it’s early doors and people are saying ‘oh, look at them celebrate’. You know the celebration police.
“That’s what I love. You can hear the Man United fans (against Brentford). You can hear the Tottenham fans in that one (against Liverpool). I love that.”
Who will finish higher – Tottenham or Manchester United?
It’s the London club sitting at the top of the Premier League tree after eight games, including a win over Manchester United.
As of this moment, Man United are sitting tenth in the table with eight points separating themselves and those right at the top.
Given how Spurs faltered last season and how Man United performed during the second half of the campaign, then don’t bet against the latter finishing higher.
