Have swashbuckling Tottenham inherited Manchester United's title as football's top entertainers?[LNB]Sportsmail asked five former players famous for flair who they rate as the best team in England to watch.[LNB]MATT LE TISSIERArsenal are still the easiest on the eye but I have a soft spot for Spurs because they were my team and they have a lot of talented players. They have the likes of Lennon, Van der Vaart, Bale and Modric, while United are hardworking but their midfield is more humdrum.[LNB]Matt is a Gillette Soccer Saturday studio expert[LNB] Looking good: Gareth Bale and Tottenham have been entertaining this season[LNB]CHRIS WADDLEUnited will tell you it's all about results, but entertainment-wise, it's Tottenham for me. United have gotmore efficiency than flair. I like Javier Hernandez but he's a goalscorer, not a flair player. United still play nice football but Spurs are great to watch.[LNB]DAVID GINOLA Tottenham have great attacking flair. United used to play through Cristiano Ronaldo so when he left it meant that they had to become more of a team. But now they sap your confidence by holding on to the ball there is nothing worse than that. Manchester City can do that too.[LNB]RODNEY MARSHManchester United have never had the credit they deserve for doing the ugly things better thananyone else. Maybe this season hasn't been so good for entertainment. This is the best Tottenham team to watch for 25 years.[LNB] Still top: Nani is one of Manchester United's top entertainers[LNB]PAUL MERSONThe way Arsenal move the ball around is so easy on the eye; their style is the nearest thing you can get to a computer game. But Tottenham have more cutting edge than Arsenal in that they can score a goal out of nowhere. The longer Arsenal go without scoring, the more the confidence drains from them.[LNB]ANDREI KANCHELSKISTottenham aren't consistent, so they don't stand up well to comparison with Manchester United. Chelsea played quality football at the start of the season when everything was stable, but now they are in trouble. Any chairman would prefer to see less entertainment but win the title.[LNB] Giggs at 600!
