Spurs boss Martin Jol can't wait to get his players back from international duty, and wants to take out the frustration of a poor start to the season on United.
Tottenham travel to Old Trafford on Saturday but, despite adding Dimitar Berbatov, Didier Zokora, Pascal Chimbonda and Steed Malbranque to his squad over the summer, they have taken just three points from nine so far this season with defeats to Everton and Bolton.
"I'm impatient to get the lads back from international duty and get out on the training ground," he said. "We've not had the start to the season we all wanted so we must start to gel.
"I want our fans to know that there's a fierce determination to step up our performances," he said. "We have a squad that I am confident can improve on our performances last season. When I look down the list I can see many options and all the positions are covered by at least two players capable of playing them.
"We have four top strikers up front. Dimitar has opened his account and I know he wants to go on and achieve an impressive tally. He is very creative in the area. Mido, of course, is well known at the Lane - he is a strong target man."
If Jol is to get his side back on track with victory over United, he will have to achieve what Spurs have not done in nearly 17 years - win at Old Trafford. Gary Lineker was the scorer in a 1-0 win the last time Spurs won on on United's patch, in Division One in December 1989.
