Manchester United 0, Tottenham 3 Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes is shown a red card by referee Chris Kavanagh during the Premier League clash with Tottenham.

The Old Trafford encounter was a chance for these top-four hopefuls to kickstart campaigns that had begun in similarly topsy-turvy fashion.
But a month that started for United with a 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool ended in another Old Trafford loss by the same scoreline as Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke struck for Spurs. Skipper Fernandes' sending off for a challenge on James Maddison at the end of a one-sided first half compounded matters, ruling him out of next weekend's trip to Aston Villa and two further matches. Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount also went off injured on a nightmare afternoon for Ten Hag, who is under the spotlight as United head to Porto and Villa Park before the international break.
As for Ange Postecoglou, Spurs impressed without injured star Son Heung-min and won consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since March. Spurs were as impressive as United were disjointed from the outset at Old Trafford, where the visitors went ahead after 155 seconds. Micky van de Ven capitalised on miscommunication between Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford and drove forward from his own half, having ntercepted the ball.
The rapid Spurs.
