Premier League: Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 3 Manchester United

-

Cristiano Ronaldo was the inspiration behind an excellent Manchester United display against Tottenham Hotspur

This provided the perfect response to last week's 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool at Old Trafford that raised questions over Solskjaer's future.

Ronaldo made life more comfortable for his boss with a sublime far-post volley from Bruno Fernandes' cross. This was followed by a slide-rule pass to set up Edinson Cavani for a second.

Marcus Rashford wrapped things up with a cool finish just four minutes from time as Spurs fans erupted in fury against Nuno and their chairman Daniel Levy. Towards the ground, Spurs fans started chanting"we want Levy out."

Tottenham manager Nuno has been struggling to win over supporters but the atmosphere inside this vast arena turned very angry as they slipped tamely to defeat here.

They were already in a grim mood before their boss made the highly-contentious decision to replace Moura with Bergwijn nine minutes after the break. Chants of "you don't know what you're doing" were then quickly aimed at the Portuguese manager.

Social media reaction

After the match, there was a lot of discussion regarding the longer term impact of the result. Does it mark the beginning of the end for Nuno Espírito Santo? What does it mean for the Manchester United manager Solskjaer after last week's nightmare?

This was Nuno's reaction after the match.

One Tottenham fan responded to this tweet: "Nuno needs to go. We are attacking like a bottom three side. If Levy and Paratici think that this is acceptable and don't act quickly then they also need to go. It's proving to be an awful appointment. If we are going to finish 8th or lower, we want football that doesn't burn the eyes. Get rid." 

Manchester United posted Cristiano Ronaldo's thoughts on social media: ""We have won 3-0 in an away stadium against a difficult team and we are so, so pleased."

This is what Marcus Rashford had to say.

How are the teams looking now?

After a decent start to the season, Tottenham have been in an awful run of form and are now in 8th place in the table. United are just outside the top 4 and face a crucial Manchester derby next week. Following that heavy defeat against Liverpool, the pressure is still on Solskjaer and another loss to a rival could finally signal the end for the Norwegian.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
