James Maddison mocks Man United

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison attracted attention when he made a sarcastic remark about Manchester United in the context of Spurs' victory in the first match of the Champions League in the early morning of September 17.

Maddison recalled Man United's loss to Tottenham in the Europa League.

On his way to Tottenham’s home ground to cheer on his teammates, Maddison had a “sneering” remark to streamer Angry Ringe – a “Red Devils” fan. He said: “I have to go, I have to go to the Champions League match, the tournament we qualified for after defeating you guys.”

The midfielder's words recall Ruben Amorim's team's defeat to Spurs in the 2024/25 Europa League final. The North London team ended a long period without a major title and just got a ticket back to the Champions League.

As for Manchester United, they have had a disappointing season, and fans have yet to see any signs of the club coming back strong. While Tottenham have only lost 1 game since the start of the season, the “Red Devils” have won 1, drawn 1, lost 2 and are ranked 14th on the table.

As for Maddison, he is still sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The 28-year-old is not expected to return until early 2026.

His team, Tottenham, have been in impressive form through their first five games of the 2025/26 season. They have conceded just one goal, scored nine, and beaten Manchester City in the second round of the Premier League. In the Champions League, Spurs beat Villarreal thanks to an own goal from goalkeeper Luiz Junior.

With last season's Europa League title and optimistic signals, fans of the "Roosters" have the right to hope for another title-winning and convincing season for this team.
