00:00Manchester United suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur at
00:08Old Trafford. The Red Devils were thoroughly outplayed by Ange Postekoglou's side, who
00:13were clinical in front of goal and resolute in defence.
00:17The atmosphere at the Theatre of Dreams was electric at kick-off, with both sets of fans
00:22eager to see their teams continue their strong starts to the season. However, it was the
00:27visitors who drew first blood and never looked back.
00:31The defeat leaves Manchester United with six points from their opening five games, piling
00:36the pressure on manager Eric Ten Hag. Tottenham, on the other hand, continued their impressive
00:41start under new manager Ange Postekoglou, moving up to second in the table with 13 points.
00:48The match served as a stark reminder of the work that still needs to be done at Old Trafford
00:52if Manchester United are to challenge for major honours this season.
00:57The Red Devils were second best in every department and were deservedly beaten by a Tottenham
01:01side who were hungrier and more organised.
01:07Tottenham silenced the Old Trafford crowd just four minutes into the match. A swift
01:12counter-attack saw Son Heung-min break free down the left flank. The South Korean forward
01:17delivered a pinpoint cross to the back post where Brennan Johnson was on hand to fire
01:22the ball past Andre Onana. It was a dream start for Spurs and a nightmare opening for
01:27the home side. The goal visibly deflated Manchester United, who struggled to get a foothold in
01:33the game. Tottenham's high press caused the Red Devils all sorts of problems, forcing
01:37them into numerous errors. The visitors grew in confidence as the half wore on, while United's
01:43frustration began to grow.
01:48Manchester United's task was made even more difficult on the stroke of half-time when
01:52Bruno Fernandes was shown a straight red card. The Portuguese midfielder caught Cristian
01:58Romero with a high boot in a challenge that was deemed dangerous by referee Michael Oliver.
02:04It was a moment of madness from Fernandes who let his frustration get the better of
02:09him. The red card proved to be a turning point in the match. Manchester United, already trailing
02:14by a goal, were now forced to play with 10 men for the entire second half. It was a mountain
02:19to climb for Erik ten Hag's side, and Tottenham were in no mood to show any mercy.
02:28Tottenham took full advantage of their numerical superiority in the second half, scoring two
02:33more goals to put the game beyond doubt. Dejan Kulusevski doubled Spurs' lead just six minutes
02:39after the restart. Finishing off a flowing team move with a composed finish, the Swedish
02:43winger was a constant threat down the right flank, tormenting the United defence with
02:48his pace and trickery. Substitute Dominic Solanke added a third goal for Tottenham in
02:52the 82nd minute, slotting the ball past Onana after being played through on goal by Yves
02:58Bissouma. It was a fitting end to a dominant display from Tottenham who were full value
03:03for their victory.
03:08Manchester United's misery was compounded by their inability to take their chances.
03:13Marcus Rashford was guilty of missing a glorious opportunity to equalise in the first half,
03:19firing wide from close range after being played through by Anthony. Substitute Jadon Sancho
03:25also went close for the Red Devils, but his curling effort went just wide of the post.
03:31The Red Devils' performance was characterised by a lack of creativity and cutting edge in
03:35the final third. They struggled to break down Tottenham's well-organised defence, and
03:40were often reduced to long-range efforts that were comfortably dealt with by Guglielmo Vicario
03:45in the Spurs' goal.
03:50The defeat leaves Manchester United with much to ponder as they head into a crucial run
03:54of fixtures. The Red Devils face a tough trip to Brentford next weekend, followed by a home
03:59game against Crystal Palace, and a trip to Chelsea. Ten Hag will need to find a way to
04:05lift his players' spirits and get them back to winning ways quickly if they are to avoid
04:09falling further behind in the race for a top-four finish.
04:13The defeat to Tottenham will raise further questions about the direction of the club
04:16under Eric Ten Hag. The Dutchman has been backed heavily in the transfer market, but
04:21his team is yet to show any signs of consistency or progress this season. With the pressure
04:27mounting Ten Hag needs to find answers quickly if he is to avoid becoming the latest manager
04:32to fail at Old Trafford.
