Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United side returned from their warm weather training camp in Dubai on Thursday and the interim boss has spoken to the media about the club’s huge clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
Solskjaer has made a sensational start to his reign at Old Trafford, winning his opening five matches after taking over following Jose Mourinho’s sacking, but the former Red Devils striker has admitted that the test with Spurs at the weekend will be his toughest one yet.
Talking to the media said about Spurs, ““We’re playing one of the best teams in the league, so we have to be aware of their strengths.” However, United fans will be confident following Solskjaer’s answer to whether United will try and manufacture another win under his stewardship by saying, “We need to attack teams, that’s our strength as well, both as a team and the way we play.”
Speaking more in-depth about the test Spurs will offer, Solskjaer singled out one of Spurs’ star players as the man they have to stop if they are to continue their fine run of form in the league, and it’s no surprise that it’s Harry Kane that the Norwegian is eager to stop.

When asked about Kane, Solskjaer said: ““He’s not bad is he? He’s a fantastic goalscorer, one of the best in the world to play up there.” “He’s a top top professional” added Solskjaer.
Continuing to big up the Spurs’ striker, Solskjaer concluding by saying,”From the outside, he’s a fantastic finisher, he never misses chances really, so let’s make sure he doesn’t get any against us.”
