Man United to face Tottenham Hotspur in Carabao Cup quarter final | OneFootball

Manchester United have drawn Spurs in the Carabao Cup quarter final.

The Red Devils booked their place this evening after tearing apart a depleted Leicester side 5-2 in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s first game in charge as interim manager.

Two goals for both Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro and one from Alejandro Garnacho were enough to put the Foxes to the sword in a swashbuckling match reminiscent of the Alex Ferguson era.

Having seen Manchester City and Chelsea knocked out earlier, the draw was quite unkind to the Red Devils.

It was Spurs themselves that put United’s neighbours out this evening with a 2-1 victory.

However, it will be a chance to get revenge on the Lily Whites after the embarrassing 3-0 home defeat at the end of September.

In fact, it is over two years since United last beat Spurs, when goals from Bruno Fernandes and Fred saw them snuff out Antonio Conte’s Harry Kane-led side.

United never beat Spurs at White Hart Lane under Erik ten Hag and last achieved that feat in 2021 when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was manager.

Goals from Ronaldo, Cavani and Rashford made the difference on that day.

The last time the two teams met in the League Cup was in 2009 when two Darren Gibson goals saw United through.

The other matches are:

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Newcastle vs Brentford Southampton vs Liverpool

The ties will take place in the week commencing 16 December, when it is expected that incoming United manager Ruben Amorim will have his feet firmly under the table.
