Fred scored the opening extremity conscionable aft the interruption for Manchester UnitedManchester United produced arguably their finest show nether manager Erik 10 Hag arsenic Tottenham were swept speech successful the Premier League astatine Old Trafford.
The scoreline does not bash justness to United's immense superiority arsenic lone the brilliance of Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris denied them the genuinely emphatic triumph they deserved.
Lloris made 5 outstanding saves successful the archetypal fractional unsocial arsenic United rained successful 19 shots connected the Spurs goal, which someway remained intact.
Fred yet broke the deadlock 2 minutes aft the break, his changeable carrying a grade of bully luck arsenic Lloris was yet beaten by Ben Davies' deflection, but it was nary much than United deserved for a show precocious connected prime and intensity.
United moved retired of show aft 69 minutes erstwhile Bruno Fernandes curled a precise right-foot decorativeness beyond the stretching Lloris successful beforehand of an ecstatic Stretford End.
Ten Hag's imprint starts to show
Manchester United brag Ten Hag understandably looked a satisfied antheral arsenic helium marched disconnected the Old Trafford transportation astatine the extremity of a triumph that bore each the hallmarks of what helium wants from his caller charges.
United were sharper, faster and stronger than Spurs from the archetypal whistle, the lone interest being they mightiness person been made to wage for not scoring successful an opening 45 minutes which saw Lloris equine a one-man obstruction of defiance, with outstanding saves from Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford. The lively Antony besides glanced the extracurricular of the station with a 25-yard effort.
The passing was swift and accurate, with Fred playing a cardinal relation alongside the steadying power of Casemiro successful midfield.
And Fernandes showed immoderate of the qualities that made him specified a resounding occurrence erstwhile helium archetypal joined United, the mode successful which helium steered his decorativeness past Lloris for United's important 2nd a motion of his restored confidence.
If Ten Hag has a complaint, and determination volition not beryllium many, it volition beryllium that a two-goal triumph borderline successful nary mode reflects conscionable however overmuch amended United were than a mediocre Spurs.
When the play started, particularly aft defeats astatine location by Brighton and the 4-0 debacle astatine Brentford, a top-four spot successful the Premier League would person been a invited target. If United support this people it is good wrong their compass.
