Ange Postecoglou had a typically unique response when asked if Manchester United can catch his Tottenham side before the end of the season.
Spurs are currently fifth in the Premier League table, just three points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and with a game in hand on Unai Emery’s team.
The Red Devils are only one place behind Tottenham but there is an eight point gap between the sides after the weekend which saw Spurs beat Luton and Manchester United draw with Brentford.
There is also a substantial difference in goal difference between the two teams, with Spurs 18 goals better off than the Old Trafford giants.
Both sides have just nine games to play and Postecoglou was asked whether United could catch Spurs ahead of Tottenham’s visit to West Ham on Tuesday night.
The Australian reminded the reporter that Tottenham are as far behind third-placed Manchester City as United are behind them, and not one is tipping Spurs to haul in Pep Guardiola’s side.
‘Can you see us challenging Manchester City" No" Well they’re only eight points ahead of us,’ said Postecoglou. ‘If there’s eight points, you either think we can catch Man City who are eight points ahead of us or you think Man United can catch us.
