Tottenham Hotspur face Manchester United in Shanghai on Thursday in their second game of the International Champions Cup

The two face off after perfect starts to their pre-season preparations with both sides on the back of victories against Serie A opposition. 

The Premier League clubs will come into the game with confidence and both will be looking to make a statement regardless of it being a pre-season friendly.  

Perfect starts

Spurs go into the game after clinching a last-minute victory against Juventus through Harry Kane's outrageous 50-yard strike. 

The Lilywhites looked comfortable for the majority of the game and took a 1-0 lead into the breakthrough Erik Lamela's close-range effort. 

However, Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo clawed the Old Lady back into the game before Lucas Moura poked home an equaliser.

Much like Spurs, the Red Devils have also got off to the perfect start this season with victories over Perth Glory and Leeds United

Ole Gunnar Solskjær's side edged a 1-0 victory in their first International Champions Cup game against Inter Milan on Thursday. 

Mason Greenwood shone and not for the first time this summer as the 17-year-old's goal proved the difference. 

United looked comfortable but were unable to find the breakthrough until the youngster's left-footed attempt beat Samir Handanović

One win each last season

Lucas Moura ran the show in the first meeting between the two sides at Old Trafford as the Brazillian finished off a 3-0 rout for the Londoners. 

Kane opened the scoring but a brace from the Brazillian confirmed the points and showed the frailties in United's defence.

However, at Wembley Stadium Marcus Rashford's first-half goal was enough to earn Solskjær his most important victory as the United boss. 

The clash at the national stadium was the Norweigan's toughest test to date as the United boss but with the help of David de Gea, his side prevailed.
