When Micky van de Ven stole a loose ball from Marcus Rashford, Manchester United had committed only five players to the Tottenham half. At most three were taken out of play by the first touch of the Dutch center-back.

It is finally feeling like the endgame for Erik ten Hag. Out-fought, out-thought, out-run, out-played and, maybe, out of here. Manchester United were humiliated at home by Tottenham Hotspur and once more the manager is under severe pressure.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says his team still needs more time to come together following Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur. United were second-best throughout the contest at Old Trafford and the situation was only made worse when captain Bruno Fernandes was shown a red card shortly before half-time with the score at 1-0.
