Perhaps the all out defense Arsenal deployed seven days ago wouldn't suit the personnel at Old Trafford but it is a basic failure of organization, discipline and game intelligence to allow so many players so high up the pitch in the circumstances the hosts found themselves in.

Tottenham defeated 10-man Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford, piling near-insurmountable pressure on under-fire manager Erik ten Hag.

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 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.
