      The Red Devils were two up in North London thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford at half time.
      But Spurs fought back to earn a point against United thanks to strikes from Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son.
      United had a great chance to go 3-1 up when Bruno Fernandes brilliantly nutmegged Tottenham defender Clement Lenglet inside the area but then rifled his strike back off the bar.
      And it was while discussing this piece of magic from the Portuguese ace that the legendary United defender slipped up trying to say the Spurs’ star’s name.

      Ferdinand said: “That will be everywhere though. Imagine being Linglay now?”
      “Who’s that?” asked his fellow pundits as they burst into laughter.
      The tongue-tied ex-England ace responded: “Ling… Ling… Ok sorry, pronunciations.”
      As the laughter heightened, the embarrassed looking Ferdinand said: “Are we at school?”

      While former Tottenham ace Jermaine Jenas replied: “That’s going to be on digital.”
      One fan responded on Twitter: “Rio Ferdinand just called Lenglet ‘linglay’.”
      While another said: “Bit of a tongue twister eh Rio?”
      Fortunately that was not all that Ferdinand had to say during the coverage of last night’s Premier League encounter.
      He also revealed that he would be surprised if United are not already in talks over a move for Harry Kane this summer.
      Erik ten Hag is desperate to bring in a new No9 this summer to spearhead his attack next term.
      As well as Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, United have also long-been linked with a swoop for Spurs star Kane.
      Discussing that potential transfer pre-match, former United defender Ferdinand stated that his old side must take advantage of Tottenham’s “turmoil”.
      He told BT Sport: “If there aren’t conversations going on in the corridors of power about Kane then I’d be surprised.”
      Ferdinand then joked: “Sell now before the season even finishes.
      “Manchester United have to be looking at the turmoil that Tottenham are in.”
      He was then asked if United win the Premier League title should the 29-year-old head to Old Trafford.
      He replied: “They get closer than where they are now.”

      Ferdinand also says that it was “too long” for Kane and United to wait another 12 months to get him for nothing when his contract expires in 2024.
      And to reinforce that he said that the striker is “exactly what they [United] need” now. More

      But Spurs fought back to earn a point against United thanks to strikes from Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son.
      Old Trafford chief Ten Hag has plenty of credit in the bank after ending the club’s trophy-drought in February by lifting the Carabao Cup and has also guided them to the FA Cup Final where they will meet neighbours City on June 3.
      However, he has suffered some humiliating results along the way during his first term in charge, such as the 7-0 thrashing at Liverpool.
      And he has come under criticism from some quarters of the Stretford End by stating last night’s result “was a good draw”.

      Ten Hag said: “Some thought 90 per cent was enough. I know they are not robots and fatigue is an issue but you have to give it everything on every occasion. That is the basis.
      “We took a bit of the gas off and that was our problem. I think it’s been that for a few games where we are sharp and coming ahead and [haven’t] kept it going.
      “We are disappointed – we were 2-0 up. We had the chances to make it 3-1 which we didn’t take.
      “We were not good over the 90 minutes, we did not play brilliant. After half-time, being up 2-0, we had to score another goal.

      “We have to manage the game and keep the ball. Not give the ball away so easily, the goal was quite obvious.
      “We have to block the crosses, we have to be proactive and come out and we didn’t squeeze out. It was so easy for them, easy for them to score a goal.
      “We need energy and we have to be ready for Sunday (against Aston Villa). But in the end, good draw.”
      Supporters quickly took to Twitter after hearing that final comment with one saying: “Ten Hag just said 2-2 is a good draw has he lost the plot.”
      Another wrote: “Bottling a 2 goal lead against a rubbish Spurs and calling it a good draw. Last few interviews of Ten Hag give me Ole vibes.”
      A fellow fan said: “Who brought on the players .. who picks the teams .. Ole took the blame all the time because at the end of the day the manager has the responsibility.. meanwhile Ten Hag is saying this was a good draw.”
      While another commented: “‘A good draw’ when we were 2-0 up Ten Hag I like you bro but what are you talking about???” More

      Maguire is sidelined with injury and instead, Luke Shaw has shifted over to centre-back.
      And covering at left-back is Diogo Dalot, despite regularly playing on the right.
      Shaw partners Victor Lindelof with Raphael Varane also out with an ankle injury that threatens to rule him out for the rest of the season.
      And Lisandro Martinez has already been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign following a broken metatarsal bone in his foot.

      It is not the first time Shaw has moved to a central position this season, having played there numerous times.
      Erik ten Hag told BT Sport Maguire was left out because of a “training injury”.
      United are five points above fifth-placed Aston Villa – with three games in hand.
      And they also sit six points ahead of hosts Spurs, who are without a win in three following consecutive defeats.

      Asked if the game is a good opportunity to strengthen United’s position in the top four, Ten Hag said: “Yes it is when you see the table.
      “But we have to think about the game. We have to show we are very hungry, play on the front foot and show that we are determined.”
      United went on to blow a two goal lead after Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford made it 2-0 before half time.
      But Pedro Porro and Son Heung-min helped Spurs fightback to earn a point.

      The 29-year-old is thought to be a target for Manchester United.
      But Redknapp has suggested a controversial switch to Tottenham’s bitter rivals Chelsea could suit Kane instead.
      Mauricio Pochettino, who previously coached Kane at Spurs, is on the verge of joining the Blues as manager.
      When asked about Kane’s future, Redknapp told the Beyond The Pitch podcast: “It will be interesting if Pochettino goes to Chelsea.

      “That wouldn’t go down very well with the Tottenham fans, that’s for sure. But you never know if Pochettino’s there.
      “I’m sure Harry got on well with him [at Spurs].
      “And it’s a great move for him. I think he’s [Harry Kane] building a new house in that area.
      “He’s a family man and he’d be happier not moving to the north of England or wherever he’d have to go.”

      Redknapp went on to say he can’t see Kane leaving the Premier League.
      The England captain is on 207 Prem strikes – just 53 behind Alan Shearer’s all-time record.
      And Redknapp reckons Kane could even end up penning a new deal and staying at Spurs, where has has been since the age of 11.
      Redknapp concluded: “I’ve personally got a feeling he’ll stay and sign a new contract. I may be wrong but I think he could stay at Tottenham.”
      That is the same view as Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, who doesn’t believe Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will accept a bid for Kane this summer.
      The Tottenham chief previously rebuffed Manchester City’s approach for Kane in the summer of 2021. More

      And fans are now convinced Rangnick wants to follow his fellow German to north London as he went on record strongly advising chairman Daniel Levy to hire a sporting director.
      The Austria manager held that position at Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig as well as Lokomotiv Moscow, and was even supposed to work in that capacity at United after his stint ended last summer.
      Rangnick told Sky Sports: “If Tottenham really want Julian Nagelsmann, it’d be important to have a sporting director there to support him.
      “This is not a club where they expect you to be in the top immediately. So it could be a very, very exciting story”.

      Fans are certain Rangnick issued a “come-and-get-me” plea to Levy with that interview.
      And a raft of Tottenham supporters are keen to see that partnership next season.

      One fan tweeted: “Rangnick and Nagelsmann would be quite the formidable duo at #Tottenham.”
      Another commented: “I’ma be honest. If Tottenham get Rangnick alongside Nagelsmann, I definitely see them winning silverware.”
