The 3-0 defeat to Tottenham was one of the worst Man United displays since Erik ten Hag took charge. The players just didn't look like they cared.

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 at Old Trafford 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.

This time United had seven in the Tottenham half. 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.
