Says it will give him a chance to see where his players really are against the other top teams against spurs, laying down a bit of a challenge for the boys and maybe a nudge to the board as well if he’s there next season if players need dumping, will be interesting as spurs have beaten us pretty comfortably the last 2 games but of course we did manage to turn them over at Wembley in the fa cup not so long ago, can’t see many who played Saturday starting
We’ve had a nice run of results but guess ole saying it won’t mean much if we get beat badly at the weakend l, think it will end a draw, we’re playing with a lot more threat atm, spurs are good defensively but seemed horribley fatigued against wolves, maybe with Sanchez and lukaku making another impact from the bench late
Solskjaer “our 1st proper test next”

Every game is a test. But each a different sort of test.

Cardiff away was a testing first fixture, but our first test was away at Newcastle. When we go to Wembley, we will face our first proper test in Spurs. But the real test will come against PSG at home in February. Then the serious stuff starts when we play Liverpool, before a three-game run against PSG, Arsenal and City provides the first genuine test of Solskjaer's managerial credentials.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many fackin tests do you need?
Testing first at Cardiff
But then another first test at Newcastle
Now you have a proper test at the weekend
However, the real test will be against PSG
But the genuine test comes against PSG (again) then Asenal and City.
Maybe you could add a first serious test against Liverpool, also in Feb?
And maybe a final test against Chelsea at the end of April if any of the above doesn't quite work out!

Here we are. Another thick clown rocks up

interesting compariosn in the build up to the game.
Spurs have a Carabao SF vs Chelsea on Tuesday.
United are training in the Dubai sunshine.
While the common consensus on this will be that United will be well rested and up for it, while Spurs a bit tired from midweek exertions, often it seems to work the other way around.
I have seen it with Spurs in the past when we have had 2 games a week for weeks on end and performed well, but finding when there is more rest between matches that the intensity is lacking on match day.
Spurs will had 5 days between the SF and Utd, without any travelling.
United will have had 8 days 'rest' and a sun tan, with plenty of travelling.
Should be a fascinating game which I think Spurs will edge after a fast start.

I agree with a lot of this.
Being match sharp can sometimes be better than being well rested. That's why I hope United will try and be sensible for the first 30 minutes or so and weather any Spurs storm. We don't have to win it in the first 30 mins.
Hopefully, if we're still level going into the second half, Spurs will have to come out a bit more (as they really do need a win to maintain their PL title chances) leaving us space on the counter.
It'll be an interesting game and, if United can come through the first 30 mins unscathed, I can see us getting a positive result.
The OP is right though. This is the first game in which Ole's team will not be favourites so it is the first big test.

I mentioned Liverpool. You’re right about Chelsea though - that’s the acid test.
