Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino delivered the news that fans were dreading by confirming that Harry Kane will miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Manchester United with a hamstring injury.
From the Red Devils’ point of view, it is a big boost given that the striker has scored 13 goals in all competitions for Spurs so far this season.
Kane is in a rich vein of form and now United’s defenders have one less problem to worry about when they welcome the North London club to Old Trafford.
The match is a crucial one at this stage of the season as both clubs have 20 points, with United second due to a better goal difference and Spurs third.
Jose Mourinho’s men head into the encounter with the desire to bounce back from a shock 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town, whereas Tottenham are fresh off a 4-1 thumping of Liverpool.
Kane’s absence has been met with delight by some United fans, but others are not as enthused, particularly as the team have their own injury problems.
