Spurs can end United hoodoo - roars Redknapp

Harry Redknapp insists  ­Tottenham can end their ­Manchester United hoodoo at White Hart Lane this ­afternoon.

It has been a decade since Tottenham beat Sir Alex Ferguson’s men – but Redknapp said: “I don’t think there is a ­million miles ­between the two teams any more.”

Redknapp then pointed to victories against Arsenal and Chelsea at home last season – and the dramatic comeback at the Emirates at the end of November – as proof that his men have overcome the inferiority complex against the top clubs.

He added: “We broke the ­monopoly of the Top Four last season and we have continued that. We have good players – that is the key. Winning at Arsenal was big and, yes, we can beat anybody on our day.

“This will be the best team I have ever put out against ­United. It’s the ­closest to a ­Manchester United team that I have ever had.”

And Redknapp is out to keep it that way. As far as he is ­concerned Spurs’ days as a ­feeder club to the likes of United are over. “We are ambitious,” he said. “We have to try to keep these players if we are to go forward.”
