Manchester United and Tottenham seek much-needed victories this weekend

Summary

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces pressure to secure a win against Fulham on September 20 following a recent loss to Brighton and a poor start to the season with just one win in four league matches. Similarly, Tottenham, without a win or goal in the league this season, desperately aim for improvement against Aston Villa, having finished closely above the relegation zone in the past two seasons. Both teams are under scrutiny as they navigate challenging beginnings, with Tottenham needing to recover after a recent 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in the League Cup.
