Manchester United Suffer Humiliating 3-0 Defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford

Ten Hag Under Pressure as Spurs Dominate in a Rain-Soaked Encounter

Manchester United endured a sobering 3-0 defeat against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford, adding to the mounting pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. Goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke secured a comfortable victory for Spurs, while Bruno Fernandes’ red card compounded United’s misery.

From the opening whistle, Tottenham were dominant, taking the lead just three minutes in with Johnson tapping in at the far post after excellent work from Micky van de Ven. Despite not adding to their tally in the first half, Spurs controlled the game as United struggled to respond.

The situation worsened for the home side just before halftime when Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a high challenge on James Maddison, leaving United with 10 men.

Two minutes into the second half, Tottenham capitalized again, with Kulusevski finishing smartly after another assist from Johnson. As United sought to regroup, Solanke sealed the win by sliding home a goal following a Pape Sarr flick from a corner, leaving the Red Devils with no way back.

Despite leading United to two cup victories, the team continues to struggle under his leadership, and this defeat only adds to the growing discontent. Tottenham fans taunted the home crowd as United’s woes deepened, and Ten Hag now faces an uncertain future ahead of their next match against Porto.
