Tottenham’s Match against Manchester United would be season defining: Harry Redknapp
Tottenham Hotspur’s English manager, Harry Redknapp, has claimed that if his side failed to win against Manchester United, the Red Devils will go on to win this year’s Barclays Premier League title.

at White Hart Lane would be season defining.

everyone involved.
If Tottenham want to win the league, we have to beat United. They keep winning but haven't hit the heights this season. Sooner or later they will hit top form and then everyone will find themselves in trouble. But we have no reason to fear anyone".
