Fernandes sent off as dismal Man Utd lose to Spurs - follow live
Manchester United faced a tough defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, losing 3-0. Captain Bruno Fernandes received a straight red card during the match, adding to the team's challenges.
The game started terribly for the home team when Micky van de Ven made an impressive run and set up Brennan Johnson for an easy goal. The United side struggled to respond and found themselves under pressure on their own ground. Andre Onana managed to keep the score from escalating, but just before halftime, Fernandes received a red card for a risky challenge on James Maddison.
Immediately after the break, Dejan Kulusevski struck a volley to make it 2-0, and later on, Dominic Solank added a third goal for Spurs. However, the harm had already been inflicted, as United put in a dismal performance and faced boos from some of their supporters as they left the field at the end of the match.

Final Score: Man United 0, Tottenham 3
Spurs players are currently having a discussion after the match has ended.
Brennan Johnson, speaking after netting the first goal, said: "We controlled the match completely, executing our strategy perfectly. Our game plan was straightforward, and we executed it very well."
"Micky is one of the fastest once he picks up speed. The manager insists that we need to position ourselves at the back post. Scoring a goal from there seems straightforward, but the key is being the first one to arrive."
Micky van de Ven played a key role by setting up his goal with impressive flair:
"We managed the game well, fully aware that they can be a threat on the counter-attack, but we handled it effectively."
"I grabbed the ball and noticed an opening. I thought to myself, 'This is my chance!' I was aware he was at the far post. Although I couldn’t see the goal since I was tumbling down the stairs, I knew he scored!"
"We proved that we are capable of maintaining this level of performance throughout the entire match, which makes the three points well-earned."

Final Score: Man United 0 - 3 Spurs
As the clock ticks down, it doesn't seem to be moving quickly enough for the supporters and players at home. It was another tough match for Erik ten Hag. So far this season, Manchester United has only secured victories against Fulham, the newly promoted Southampton, and lower division Barnsley—no one else.
Onana was clearly the standout player for United today, making a crucial save to deny Solanke a fourth goal, while Sarr missed the chance to score with a header that went wide off the rebound.
An additional six minutes were tacked on.

United's next matches include away games against Porto and Villa, followed by a home game against Brentford, and then another away match against Fenerbahce and West Ham. This is not an easy set of fixtures, especially as they look to maintain their four-game unbeaten streak.
