Man Utd saw a disappointing start to the season turn disastrous as they were beaten 3-0 by a Dominant Tottenham at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes was sent-off as Manchester United crashed to a second 3-0 home defeat of the Premier League season, with Tottenham running riot at Old Trafford.
The visitors could have scored double the tally they ended up with and United were on the ropes even before Fernandes was shown a straight red card for a high tackle on James Maddison late in the first half.
By that point Brennan Johnson had given Spurs the lead and they had wasted a hatful of chances to extend their advantage against a sloppy United side. Dejan Kulusevski scored early in the second half to kill any hopes of a United comeback before Dominic Solanke added a third.
It was the eighth occasion in the last 28 Old Trafford fixtures that United have conceded three times at home and the result puts Erik ten Hag under even more pressure.
Where are the leaders?
After a half-time reshuffle, the last thing United needed was to concede a second and see the game get out of sight. The decision to bring Casemiro on for Joshua Zirkzee would have been aimed at establishing some control and a foothold in the game.
That was gone when they conceded within three minutes of the restart, just as they had done in the first half. But while the goal was again riddled with mistakes, what followed really summed up the modern United.
This is a talented team but at the moment they are giving the impression that they have given up. Maybe they feel they are killing time until a new manager comes in. There was an example of that with the first goal and the body language after a second concession was dreadful.
With the ball on the centre circle, the 10 remaining United players stood there in total silence. For about 30 seconds, while the celebrating Tottenham players retreated to their own half, they stood like statues. No words, no looks, no leadership. No hope.
