Whats the general consensus on here? I think a pools panel would give us the away win on the current form of both teams
Would we have beaten Spurs?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
10 nil to us
We haven't been in this good a form since Ole's infamous caretaker run, Tottenham haven't been in this bad form since, i dont even remember when. Considering our stellar form against the big6 sides, I'd say we were at least favorites to walk away with 3 points.
Yes. Unless we lost. Or drew.
I reckon if we scored more goals than Spurs we would have won
We had a habit of pulling out losses when least expected this season. I reckon we'd have lost or drawn this one.
Most likely we would have yes. We raise our game against the better teams and Spurs were having a huge injury crisis. Jose would park the bus and before Bruno we would have struggled to break through but I think we'd have found a way eventually. I don't overly rate Aurier so he'd probably have given away 6/7 pens. 
Considering Ole's record in big games, our good form since Bruno (& Ighalo) joining, and Spurs not having the likes of Kane, Son and probably others I'm forgetting, i would've been confident of a win.
Would say I was confident for a win and still am ifcseason carries on but players returning on both sides things coukd change.
Lads,
It's not right to be confident.
Son maybe injured.
Pogba is out.
Unless he don't.
Rashford is also out.
So just forget it.

Furious it was just before this game the season ended. We'd have shat on Spurs and Mourinho.
Yes. Of course.
Yeah, they had about a thousand injuries.
Probably not because Ole would almost certainly have rested most of the senior players in readiness for the tricky looking second-leg tie in the Europa League on the Thursday.
Never a more profound statement.
Well be beat them 2/1 start of Dec with them at full strength and us with young at LB, lingard as well as james, greenwood and rashford as our front 4, so yeah given how we have massively improve since then, yeah 3/0.
Son of Wilkin have spoke the truth. Amen
Never a more profound statement.
It seems so long ago I remember being irritated the game got called off before we could win it.
Seems like a different lifetime ago now, and so inconsequential!

It’d have gone one of 3 ways. Just a guess though.
Yeah, would've been nice to see us put Mourinho in the dirt again before football stopped
years later he was proven right
Never a more profound statement.
It actually has gone the fourth way though, your guess was wrong.It’d have gone one of 3 ways. Just a guess though.
We were overwhelming favourites IMO. They had nobody who could score or create goals (literally) while we were flying.
You look at the remaining fixtures and with Pogba returning and the form of Bruno, Ighalo coming in nicely to rest Martial when needed, I think we'd have definitely gotten in the top 4.

It really does feel a long time ago, it's very strange.
To the op, yes we would of destroyed them in my opinion.
On form, yes. But yeah, anything can happen I guess.
We would have trashed them and embarrassed that .... man Mourinho once and for all. He would have no choice but to resign and go into hiding in a cave in the Himalayas to ponder where it all went so wrong.
I wrote Spurs off before the break. Most had. Even leaving aside injuries they weren't playing well and Mourinho was having a daily strop
Most teams would have beaten them

Had we played on scheduled day, we definitely win. Play next month will see Son and Kane back, when everyone else out of form, I would say 50-50.
I think so. Unless if our finishing was off in that game, I don't see us not to win against Spurs without Kane, Son, Bergwijn. And defensively they were in the shocking form at that time if I remember (pretty much the whole season).
Great seeing how much we have improved and the state of Spurs squad with only two players that would get into our team, it was only 2 years ago that they were one of the best teams in England and were close to winning the title.
Lads, it's Spurs.
Yes.
We were on form and Spurs were collapsing on and off the pitch.
The season pause was as disastrous for us as it was for Liverpool.

Not really. We're getting pogba and rashford back, our two best players. It'll be exciting au the very least
I think you'll still win it. The feeling around Utd is better than Spurs with all of the off pitch dispute about furloughing staff etc and while Utd have come out of this admirably so far, Levy has once again been shown to be a cnut.
Son and Kane will be back as will Rashford and Pogba - at full strength, you're the better team and Mou is still tit who doesn't understand social distancing or lock down!
Spurs start slow after a pre season and this is that on steroids so we will still win.
Beaten them? We’d have got Jose sacked 
I think yes, we were in great form and Tottenham had lots of injuries and a few grumbles in the camp forming.
Obviously they still have good players like Moura, Lamela, Lo Celso but missing Kane and Son was huge.

Brilliant!Son and Kane are far more important to Spurs, compared with Pogba, whom we will struggle to fit in. Rashford is valid but 2-1 in terms of returning key players.
