Manchester United’s unbeaten record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has come to an end as the London club inflicted the first defeat on United this season.
Erik ten Hag’s men were looking to make it two from two to kickstart the season in perfect form but another poor performance meant that Tottenham cruised to victory in the second half.
United were unlucky not to score a goal in the first half but Spurs also missed their share of chances, with their dominance finally paying off after the interval.
The home side took the lead early in the second half and continued to dominate throughout, with United looking lacklustre and out of ideas.
Man United Player Ratings
Andre Onana – 7
Kept United in the game at times and displayed his brilliant range of passing. Good performance after a shaky debut.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 5
Not his best performance.
Raphael Varane – 5
Didn’t do that much wrong.
Lisandro Martinez – 4
A shaky start to the season. May still be feeling the effects of the injury that ended his debut season.
Luke Shaw – 6
More involved than any other United player in the final third, it seemed.
Casemiro – 4
Slow and overran – he’s left with a lot of space to cover with his midfield partner roaming in a more advanced role.
Mason Mount – 5
Thus far, the deeper midfield role does not seem to be fitting him that well.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Spurned a golden opportunity with a free header in the first half.
Marcus Rashford – 4
Continues to struggle in that number nine role – he will thrive once Rasmus Hojlund is in the side.
Alejandro Garnacho – 5
United’s most dangerous player but ineffective and let down by poor decision-making.
Antony – 5
Unlucky not to score when he struck the post.
