Gary Neville predicts where Tottenham Hotspur could finish this season following Manchester United draw

Gary Neville makes bold Tottenham prediction after Manchester United draw

Tottenham equalised once each on either side of the halfway mark as Ange Postecoglou’s side drew 2-2 with Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United. The visitors, even with their injury issues, put up a very good game.

Soon after the game began, with Rasmus Hojlund taking the lead almost immediately, Richarlison headed in the first equalizer in the 19th minute off a Pedro Porro corner. The Lilywhites increased the tempo and dominated most of the game after Richy’s goal, but they produced nothing.

However, Manchester United grabbed another goal against the run of play when Marcus Rashford made no mistake and expertly placed the ball into the bottom corner after Hojlund had passed it through. Spurs responded right away when play resumed. Rodrigo Bentancur received a feed from Timo Werner and struck it low to the left past Andre Onana.

The Lilwhites dominated possession for most parts of the game after that and had a few decent opportunities to score, but could not score. Man United came close to securing three points at the end of the game but Scott McTominay missed a header from close. It ended 2-2, and former United skipper Gary Neville said Spurs could put up a fight for second or third if they can get through the coming few weeks (h/t Sky Sports).

It’s a take so spicy that it could put a jalapeno to shame. This is the Premier League, after all, where chaos is the norm.

What have the coming weeks got for us?

After our top-class start to the season, we would have likely been in this situation. However, off-track we went, and now top-four would be great. Top two though, not so sure.

So, let’s dissect this audacious forecast. Neville, with the confidence of a seer, suggests that if Tottenham can dance their way through the minefield of fixtures, juggling injuries and tactical challenges like seasoned circus performers, they might just pull off the heist of the season.

Moreover, his prediction underscores the potential he sees in Tottenham’s current form and performance, especially considering the injury hurdles the team has faced.

If Spurs can maintain their momentum and secure positive results in the upcoming fixtures, they could indeed emerge as formidable challengers for higher league positions.
