Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 207

Man Utd wins: 97

Draws: 52

Spurs wins: 58

Manchester United comfortably lead the overall head-to-head record between these two sides, winning 97 of their previous 207 meetings, while Tottenham Hotspur have 58 victories, and there have also been 52 draws.

The 20-time English champions have also dominated their Premier League encounters, recording 40 wins, while they have only ever lost 13 times to Tottenham in the Premier League.

Spurs recorded a 2-0 victory over Man United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in August 2023, which proved to be their first success against the Red Devils since winning 6-1 at Old Trafford in October 2020. However, the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in 2023-24 finished 2-2.

The North London outfit have actually only won four of their last 13 league clashes with Man United, but three of their last five victories over them have come at Old Trafford, having also won 3-0 in August 2018.

Wayne Rooney is Man United's all-time leading Premier League goalscorer against Tottenham, finding the back of the net on 11 occasions. However, the overall record is held by Denis Law, who struck 14 goals against Spurs, with Sir Bobby Charlton in second on 12, while Bobby Smith (11) and Jimmy Greaves (11) are also in the top five with Rooney.

Tottenham recorded a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in the first half of the 2024-25 campaign, and it proved to be an even more damaging afternoon for Man United, as they had Bruno Fernandes sent off in the first period.

Spurs then posted a 4-3 victory over Man United in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup in December 2024, before triumphing 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the league in February 2025.

During the 2024-25 campaign, Tottenham did the Premier League double over Man United for the first time, and the North London club also went on to win the Europa League final at the end of the season against the Red Devils.

United may have hoped for revenge when they clashed against Spurs in November 2025 in the Premier League, but they only rescued a point when Matthijs de Ligt scored a 96th-minute equaliser to help his side draw 2-2.

Tottenham will be immensely disappointed with the result given they had come back from 1-0 down, netting their second in the 91st minute through Richarlison, and their inability to defend the corner that led to United's equaliser denied them victory.

Man United finally ended their winless run against Tottenham Hotspur in all competitions in February 2026, with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Fernandes sealing a 2-0 win against Thomas Frank's Spurs.
