September 29, (THEWILL) – Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday, intensifying the pressure on United Manager, Erik ten Hag.
The visitors took an early lead through Brennan Johnson’s tap-in after just three minutes. United’s troubles worsened when captain Bruno Fernandes received a red card shortly before half-time. Tottenham capitalised on their numerical advantage in the second half, with Dejan Kulusevski doubling their lead and Dominic Solanke adding a third.
The result leaves Manchester United in 11th place after six League matches, having lost three of their opening fixtures. Ten Hag, who survived an internal review at the end of last season, now faces increased scrutiny over his position.
Tottenham, under manager Ange Postecoglou, have won four games in 12 days. This victory moves them up the table and demonstrates their improving form under the Australian coach.
On the other hand, United face challenging away matches against Porto in the UEFA Europa League and Aston Villa in the EPL before the international break. This period could prove crucial for Ten Hag’s future at the club.
