In the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Tottenham Hotspur at home. This match was a must-win for Manchester United, who drew with Twente in the middle of the week, and Tottenham Hotspur also welcomed their opponents in good form. However, the content of the game was beyond everyone's expectations. Johnson scored the first goal for Tottenham in the third minute, and then the Manchester United captain was sent off for a dangerous tackle. After that, Manchester United was completely lost, and Kulu and Solanke changed the score to 3:0. After this game, the position of Manchester United coach is already in jeopardy.

Christian Eriksen said after the 1-1 draw with FC Twente on Wednesday that their opponents "wanted it more." But Ten Hag's players never responded. 100%? He got less than half.United played worse against Tottenham than Twente. Much worse.

The game might have been decided by Bruno Fernandes' red card just before half-time. Tottenham were better for the 42 minutes that it remained 11 vs. 11. Tottenham had 12 men while United's only player who showed up was goalkeeper André Onana.

Spurs were already 1-0 up by the time Fernandes was sent off. The only surprise was that it stayed that way until half-time. Ange Postecoglou was frustrated during the first half, as chances went begging. He didn't need to worry. United's players seemed determined to play badly.

Man U played with 10 men for over 50 minutes but never looked like they were in the game. United did so many things wrong that it's hard to know where to start. The red players gave the ball away, lost duels and didn't track runners.Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho let Tottenham's Micky van de Ven take the ball. The centre-back ran half the length of the pitch like a dad joining a children's game.

United let Van de Ven run freely and Johnson scored from close range. A strong run and simple finish, almost the same as the goal Twente scored four days earlier.

Ten Hag's pre-match rallying cry and the Spurs goal didn't act as wake-up calls. Onana saved from Maddison and Werner. Johnson hit the post. Then it got worse.

Fernandes slipped and fouled Maddison. VAR Peter Bankes agreed with Chris Kavanagh's decision to show a straight red card. Kobbie Mainoo also got injured.

Ten Hag brought on Casemiro at half-time, but there was another setback after the restart. The Brazilian lost a challenge, Martínez tried to make a tackle but missed, and Kulusevski scored to make it 2-0.

United started playing, but it was too late. The game was over. Casemiro lost Pape Sarr from a corner and Dominic Solanke scored from underneath the crossbar in the 77th minute.Spurs had an easy game away. They had only won three away games since November 2023. By the end of the match, they were celebrating in the Manchester rain. Postecoglou said United were the opposite of what he wanted.

With the score at 3-0 and more than 15 minutes to play, the United fans left. They lasted a long time. How long will Ten Hag last after such a bad defeat?There's been some improvement this season, but they've only won three of eight games. This week, they play away against Porto and Villa. If they play like this again, the pressure will be even worse.
