Man Utd news: Jose Mourinho risks fan fury vs Tottenham, Red Devils won’t win - Parker
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho will upset fans if he goes into Saturday's game against Tottenham with a defensive mindset.
Parker: Manchester United are expected to attack at home
That is the view of former Manchester United and England defender Paul Parker.
United are winless in their last two outings in the Premier League and find themselves five points behind leaders Manchester City.
A dull 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield was followed by a shock 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield last weekend.
Tottenham visit Old Trafford on Saturday in fine form and are level on points with United in the Premier League table after nine games.

We know Tottenham are a good side, a good side away from home. But still, Manchester United are expected to attack at home
And Parker is not sure what Mourinho will do but is predicting a 2-2 draw.
“It’s a big game against a top-six side,” Parker told ESPN FC.
“Jose Mourinho doesn’t like to lose them, doesn’t necessarily go and win them. So how is he going to go in this game?
“They’re at home, are they going to actually try to win the game or is he going to go and say ‘we are not going to concede, we are to going to get beat’?

“If he goes in that fashion, I think there will be a lot of people very much upset about it.
“We know Tottenham are a good side, a good side away from home.
“But still, Manchester United are expected to attack at home and eventually go and win games against the top-six at home.
“I’m going to be perched on this one, I’m going to say this game is going to go 2-2.”
