Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, and will come up against their new striker.

Tottenham Hotspur will have Timo Werner in their ranks when they visit Old Trafford this coming weekend.

Spurs struck a deal to sign Werner on loan, earlier this week, with the German striker unveiled.

Manchester United had been linked to Werner, discussions had reportedly been made with his agent, however, the Red Devils did not actively push to get the deal done.

Now, Werner has a chance to demonstrate to Manchester United that perhaps they should have done, as he looks to relaunch his own career in the Premier League.

Timo Werner record against Manchester United

Timo Werner has played against Manchester United before with Chelsea, and has a unique record against the Red Devils.

Werner has played against Manchester United four times, and he has drawn every single one.

In all four of the draws, Werner has failed to score against Manchester United.

Two matches ended 0-0, with the other two games ending 1-1.

The goals in those games were scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, and Jadon Sancho.

Manchester United can take the positives

The peculiar nature of all four Timo Werner matches ending in draws is odd, and there is not really too much that can be read into that.

What you can take away, is that Timo Werner has never manager to score against Manchester United.

Records are here to be broken, of course. Manchester United have set a few unwanted ones this season. But it is better to be facing a striker who has failed to net against the club before, than going up against one who has done it before and made it look easy.
