Bruno Fernandes sent off as Erik ten Hag’s team suffer another embarrassing defeat
Premier League: Manchester United 0 Tottenham Hotspur 3 tenure. A slipshod shambolic mess that Tottenham Hotspur exploited gleefully, pinging the ball about, and punching through their storied host as if in a men-v-kids knockabout.
Ten Hag, drenched in pouring rain, had overseen a duck shoot and this, too, with Ange Postecoglu’s men missing the injured Son Heung-min, and who might have given United a six or seven-nil trouncing.Áine O’Gorman confident Ireland can continue momentum with Euro 2025 qualificationUnited are next at Porto, on Thursday, in the Europa League, then travel to Aston Villa, on Sunday, in this competition.
Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes walks after being shown a red card. Photograph: Martin Rickett/PA Wire United were like Anthony Joshua in the first round against Daniel Dubois: dazed from hitting the canvas instantly and never recovering. There is always hope against Postecoglu’s boom-or-bust ethos. Yet when Rashford broke along the left, his ball for Joshua Zirkzee was aimless, and here we saw the lack of ruthlessness Ten Hag bewails.
Cut to a grim-faced Ten Hag seeing his side shredded. Cut back to the action as an ambling Dalot, who somehow lost Johnson for his strike, was pickpocketed, allowing Madison to unload. He was wide, as was Cristian Romero with an aesthetically pleasing scissors-kick that offered further evidence of how splayed United were.
Now came the break and the United support’s jeers. There were more when Spurs doubled the lead. Casemiro had replaced Zirkzee for the second 45, with Rashford switching to No 9. Done, presumably, to shore United up, suddenly Johnson was wheeling down their left and popping in a ball that, deflected, Kulesevski deftly beat Onana with.
