Man Utd held back as Spurs spent big - Different strategies collide on Saturday

Tottenham spent more than double what Manchester United did on new signings in the summer transfer window; despite differing strategies, both clubs have had poor starts to their seasons as the pair meet at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday, live on Sky Sports

Tottenham went big in the summer transfer window while Manchester United held back, but both are struggling.

Two clubs with very different strategies in the summer now find themselves facing a remarkably similar problem after underwhelming starts to the season, as the pair meet at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.

Spurs spent £334m, including £100m on Sandro Tonali, as Roberto De Zerbi was handed significant backing to reshape his squad.

United, by contrast, were more frugal with their spending, with £163m committed to their rebuild.

Yet ahead of this weekend's crunch game, Spurs sit bottom of the Premier League and are still waiting for their first win, while Michael Carrick is already feeling the pressure at Old Trafford.
