Pundit believes Tottenham will be happy with a draw.
Jamie Redknapp has told The Mail he believes his former club Tottenham Hotspur will be happy with a draw against Manchester United.
Spurs face United at Old Trafford on Monday evening, looking to inflict a second straight loss on Jose Mourinho’s side.
United lost their last game 3-2 away to Brighton and pressure is already building on manager Mourinho and his players.
Redknapp believes this will help United and does not believe Tottenham have the big game mindset to come out on top.
He told The Mail that Spurs will be happy with a draw and believes Alexis Sanchez will be the key player.
Redknapp said: “This could be the perfect game for Jose Mourinho. Tottenham can be flaky in the big games, winning just two of their 20 away matches against their top six rivals under Mauricio Pochettino.
“Alexis Sanchez terrorised Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final. If he is fit, he owes United another brilliant performance. Pochettino will be happy to head back to London with a draw.”
Spurs have won both of their opening two Premier League games, winning away against Newcastle and at Wembley against Fulham.
United won their opening league game 2-1 against Leicester City.
Mourinho’s United beat Spurs 1-0 at Old Trafford last season, before losing 2-0 at Wembley in the league.
The last time the two teams met, United beat Spurs 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final in April.
