Battling The Bull's Eye On Their Back
There is a bit of chatter as to whether Manchester United can go the entire Barclays Premier League season unbeaten or not, but that is not an objective for the club.

Sir Alex's Slender Squad Selection

On top of reclaiming the top spot in the standings, the Reds also elongated their impressive unbeaten streak over Spurs to 20 Barclays Premier League games – 24 overall – but unbiased bystanders, including a somewhat troubled-looking Sir Alex Ferguson, would have thought it was Tottenham who were the holders of that streak.
Spurs 0 United 0: Escaped With A Point
In a very enthralling Barclays Premier League match, Manchester United earned a goalless draw with Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. The Reds not only extended their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to 26 games, but also their personal streak over Tottenham to 24 games, but United was forced to dig deep and defend astutely against a very vibrant Spurs’ team – especially in the second half after the referee, Mike Dean, wrongfully sent off Rafael.
