Sherwood’s men bullish ahead of clash with rejuvenated United

Christian Eriksen sees no reason why Tottenham should abandon their attacking philosophy when they head to Manchester United tomorrow evening.

Tim Sherwood has put paid to the slow turgid days of Andre Villas-Boas by installing a new impetus on attacking football since he became manager. The move has paid off to a large extent so far. Tottenham’s 3-0 win over Stoke took Sherwood’s tally to seven points out of a possible nine, but the north London club have not faced a team of United’s calibre since the change in manager.

The Red Devils are full of confidence after a six-match winning streak. Their attack will be bolstered by Wayne Rooney, who is expected to return for the game at Old Trafford. Some have suggested that approaching the game in a more conservative fashion would be a wise move, but Eriksen does not want to see a change.
