It was another chastening and somewhat humiliating defeat for Manchester United on Sunday afternoon as Tottenham Hotspur claimed a comfortable 3-0 victory in their Premier League encounter at Old Trafford.
A sobering day for Erik ten Hag and his players saw Spurs score three times in the rain, while Bruno Fernandes was handed a red card for a challenge that added further woe.

After reportedly narrowly escaping the sack in the summer, Erik ten Hag may well be fearing for his job after a weak performance.
From the off, Spurs were first to every ball, and it was no surprise when they took the lead in three minutes, Johnson tapping home at the far post after fantastic work from Micky van de Ven.
