NEMANJA MATIC BELIEVES THAT MANCHESTER UNITED CAN STILL COMPETE FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur was a very intense and a hard-fought game with the Red Devils emerging on top thanks to Martial’s goal.
Spurs definitely missed the presence of their star striker, Harry Kane. Many believed that he could have made a difference in today’s game.

Nemanja Matic played a crucial role for United in today’s game. The Serbian hit the post just before Martial scored.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said, “If we play like this and continue to play like this we can compete for the title. It was very important for us against a very good team – one of the best teams in the league. And thanks to Martial we managed to score and win a difficult game against opponents who were very good today.
“They had more of the ball in the first half but we had more clear chances than them. As I said they are great and play great football but the most important thing is the result and we managed to win.
“It is important to continue to win these types of games. We dropped points in the last game and against Liverpool so it was very important to win at home especially.”

“I don’t want to be on the bench but Rashford has played good too, so the manager wants to try to give us a chance so we have to score and give assists. The manager told me to find the space. I know Romelu is good with his head and it was a good header so I found the space behind and managed to score.”
