Man United v Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Kulusevski and Solanke score in big win
Manchester United 0-3 Tottenham: The hosts were humiliated and booed off after Bruno Fernandes was sent off at Old Trafford
Manchester United were hammered and humbled by Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, beaten 3-0 as captain Bruno Fernandes was shown a straight red card.
The match got off in the worst possible way for the hosts as Micky van de Ven embarked on a brilliant run to tee up Brennan Johnson for a tap-in, but United failed to respond as they were dominated on their own patch throughout. Andre Onana prevented the scoreline from being any worse, but Fernandes’ knee-high challenge on James Maddison saw him sent-off right before half-time.
Straight after the restart Dejan Kulusevski volleyed in a second, while Dominic Solank poked in a third for Spurs later on - but the damage had long since been done as United were woeful and booed off the pitch by a section of their fans at full time.

Man Utd v Spurs - live
It’s 11th against 10th today and, while we’re early in the season and don’t need to read too much into that just yet, does hint at the up-and-down nature of these sides.
From five league games they’ve both won two, drawn one and lost two - though Spurs will argue they also won their Europa League opener, while United drew in midweek with Twente.
Much more is expected from both, regardless.
