Erik ten Hag is surely on the brink after witnessing yet another dismal Manchester United performance on Sunday against Tottenham, as Ange Postecoglou's men ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.

While Bruno Fernandes was sent off, it would be too easy to suggest all of United's woes stem from the red card; they were 1-0 down at the time and looked abysmal with 11. With 10, they briefly threatened in the second half, but overall, played as though they had met a few hours beforehand.

After just three minutes, Spurs had the lead, as Brennan Johnson tapped home Micky van de Ven's superb cross after a charging run through the middle of the pitch.

Despite Tottenham dominating the first half, United almost drew level on 36 minutes as Alejandro Garnacho slammed a volley against the post.

Before half-time, Fernandes was sent off for a lunge on James Maddison in the middle of the pitch; replays showed his foot was raised and the decision was likely correct.

At half-time, United introduced Casemiro for Joshua Zirkzee, but they fell 2-0 behind within three minutes once again, as Dejan Kulusevski finished a cross from Johnson.

And Spurs made it 3-0 on 76 minutes as Dominic Solanke simply tapped home Pape Sarr's flick-on from a corner to rub salt in United's wounds and raise serious questions over Ten Hag's future in the United hot seat.

Tottenham

Manchester United host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.

After a fairly encouraging spell, the atmosphere around Manchester United has shifted recently. Erik ten Hag's men were frustrated in a 0-0 stalemate against Crystal Palace, followed by a 1-1 draw with FC Twente in the Europa League. Extending their winless streak to three matches would only intensify the scrutiny on the Dutch manager, who has yet to firmly establish his authority on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, despite being reduced to 10 men, Spurs cruised to a 3-0 victory over Qarabag on Thursday evening. Spurs, on the other hand, secured a victory over Brentford in their last league outing, followed by an impressive start to their European campaign. They cruised to a 3-0 win over Qarabag, despite being down to ten men for over 80 minutes after Radu Dragusin was sent off.

Team news & squads

Manchester United team news

Following the stalemate with Twente, Erik ten Hag confirmed that his squad will remain unchanged for the clash against Tottenham, with Leny Yoro (foot), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Victor Lindelof (toe), and Luke Shaw (calf) still sidelined.

The Dutch manager is likely to make a few adjustments, with Kobbie Mainoo poised for a return to the midfield, potentially at the expense of Manuel Ugarte, who is still awaiting his full Premier League debut. Alejandro Garnacho is also pushing for a place in the starting XI, though whether he displaces Marcus Rashford or Amad Diallo remains uncertain.

Manchester United possible XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Mainoo; Diallo, Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee

Tottenham team news

The visitors faced a scare on Thursday when captain Son Heung-min appeared to pick up a knock during the 3-0 win over Qarabag. However, head coach Ange Postecoglou reassured fans that Son's injury isn't considered serious. The South Korean talisman is expected to be fit for the encounter at Old Trafford. Son has also proven a thorn in United's side, scoring four goals and providing one assist in his last seven matches against them.

While Radu Dragusin's red card suspension only affects European competition, Tottenham will still be without Wilson Odobert (thigh) and Richarlison (calf) for the trip to Manchester.

Tottenham Hotspur possible XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
