Cristian Romero will be happy to hear who is refereeing Man United vs Tottenham
The full list of officials has been announced for Tottenham’s trip to Man United, and it is good news for Spurs captain Cristian Romero.
According to Opta, Tottenham are massive underdogs heading into the clash against Man United, who are now a side reborn under Michael Carrick.
While Spurs historically had a poor record against the Red Devils, the trend has reversed over the last few years in a big way.

It has been nearly four years since United beat Tottenham. The Lilywhites beat the Manchester club on four occasions last season, including in the Europa League final in Bilbao.
Michael Oliver will take charge of Man United’s clash against Tottenham
The Premier League have now confirmed that Michael Oliver will take charge of the clash at Old Trafford, while Stuart Burt and Nick Greenhalgh will be his assistants.
Sam Allison will be the fourth official, while the VAR will be overseen by Paul Tierney, who will be assisted by Marc Perry at Stockley Park.
Tottenham have won 18, drawn 11 and lost 14 of the 53 matches overseen by Oliver (Transfermarkt), but there is one other stat that a senior Spurs man will be rather happy with.
Cristian Romero will be relieved by Oliver’s reluctance to go to his notebook
Interesting, Oliver has only shown a total of 93 yellow cards to Tottenham players in his 53 matches, which is just 1.7 per game, while he has produced just two straight red cards to Spurs players.
This is particularly good news for Romero, who is now two yellow cards away from incurring a two-match suspension.
Romero has to avoid a yellow card in at least one of the next two games against Man United and Newcastle if he wants to avoid missing the North London derby on February 22nd.
