Manchester United produced arguably its most complete performance under Erik ten Hag by beating Tottenham 2-0 to move within a point of the Premier League’s top four on Wednesday.
After failing to get the goal their control merited in the first half, United broke the deadlock in the 47th minute when Fred’s 20-yard effort deflected in off Ben Davies. Bruno Fernandes then made the lead secure with just over 20 minutes remaining after curling a delightful first-time shot past Hugo Lloris from just inside the penalty area.
Ten Hag is increasingly making his presence felt at Old Trafford, with standout wins against Liverpool and Premier League leader Arsenal already this season.
And Spurs became the latest big name to fall in front of United’s home fans, who were repeatedly out of their seats in response to some of the slickest football they’ve seen from their team under the new Dutch manager.

If not for Lloris, United would have held a sizeable lead by halftime, with the goalkeeper coming up with a host of impressive saves.
