00:00We'll track very shortly where Manchester United are down to ten men and one male down at halftime
00:13I didn't know people like you really existed. There's no way you can do what I do
00:19Can't help you I'm here to take care of your problem. He's not dead it would appear not
00:25How long you look like this? You got like the same clothes?
00:28Can't talk the same no like basically the same guy
00:34We're not partners, so you secret partners, we're not secret partners
00:45Changes for both sides at halftime taking you through them and the rest of the second half Gary Neville and Peter Drury
00:53Kelly thank you. Yes change on either side as well interestingly from Manchester United
00:58As we investigate again as we appear to be week on week the art of playing with ten men
01:03they have chosen to take off the center forward Cirque say and replace him with the
01:09Calm of Casimiro and a change which we perhaps anticipated left back for Spurs destiny a doggy
01:16had been laboring a bit and
01:18Jed Spence is his natural replacement, but
01:22Gary Manchester United's reaching. Yeah, Mason Mount's gone to the right hand side
01:28Rashford's up top and can I chill comes below us to the left? So they've got pace and energy in the wide areas and up top
01:37Whether they can keep Spurs out of the garden on the side Casimiro in midfield will provide a barrier in front of the back four
01:47Romero so I think he's offside
01:50I
01:54Second successive week of Manchester against North London 11 against 10. It's his problem this time
02:02Not debate this week about how to play with ten men obviously you mentioned very differently United
02:07They've got a goal and get a goal the behind in the game
02:15Anticipated
02:19Oh
02:31That's where are we rashford
02:35Oh
02:45Bobby language it seemed to me in the aftermath of Bruno Fernandes dismissal
02:49Suggested that he wasn't absolutely convinced the challenge of been on him was
02:55Was worthy of quite so fierce a punishment
02:59Certainly very diplomatic about it
03:01a
03:02Couple of things. I think I wonder whether the referee recognized that
03:08It's Brennan Johnson
03:11Johnson
03:16And Spurs is clear
03:23These are days to be cherished
03:25I
03:29Little corner of Manchester, which is London North 17
03:37It was just what Anish Bostakoglu would have wanted
03:41At the start of his second half no complacency put them to bed
03:45Don't let them off the hook
03:48And they've gone and got that second goal. I
03:52Mean Martinez dives in at the halfway line
03:55Once united are up the pitch
03:59And he just lunges misses the ball and from that moment they're in trouble because Spurs have got three men forward
04:05It's a deflection with a little bit of good fortune, but it's a lovely little finish from Kuleshevsky
04:12He has the awareness to know how that to think that an arm is close to him
04:16So I'm just gonna lift it with my left foot
04:19And just push it over that right arm of the Manchester United goalkeeper
04:26What
04:28An artful finish from day and Kuleshevsky on behalf of Ange Bostakoglu and at the expense of
04:37Eric ten Hag
04:39Whose problems mount
04:43For the Swede a first goal since he got a couple at Sheffield United on the final day of last season
04:48For
04:51Those who splashed out on the glamour game that always eats Manchester United against Tottenham
05:02As mentioned been some great United comebacks more than one in this famous game down the years certainly through the Premier League years
05:11With ten men this is a tall order and a half
05:19A
05:21Truth be told Spurs should have been further ahead at halftime the missed chances in the first half and Anna made some saves
05:30More comfortable for themselves
05:32Still some work to do, but they should really relax in the game now. They've got the extra man the playing well anyway
05:39Now they can afford just to pop it around
05:43United do
05:49This would be for Tottenham apart from anything else a really handy box tick they're away for by the side of the summer has been
05:57Pretty poor one just two of the last twelve. What if the last eight Premier League away games coming into this one?
06:05It was a long since relegated Sheffield United on the last day of last season
06:12What is a current Premier League away ground since doing so at Aston Villa on the 10th of March
06:18months ago
06:21Oh
06:48Spence
06:51And fresh
06:53Beyond Johnson
06:56Chased it up
06:59Torres cross
07:15To looking at their watches
07:18I'm not thinking Fergie time
07:33But the Spurs terrific
07:37Ripped into Manchester United from the outset first half passing was crisp and smooth and had a point
07:47Spence you're right need to be settled into the game straight away didn't they?
07:53Spence to penetrate again. He's gone over Chris Kavanagh had a very good view of it
07:58Still looking at it. Just he wraps his leg around
08:03Spence
08:04And he just gets a little nick on the ball. I think
08:08That's what it looked like from up here. Yeah, just a little touch
08:11The VAR saw as well
08:24As it turned out to be judge challenge
08:35100th time Tottenham have played at
08:38100th time Tottenham have played at Old Trafford since 1911
08:44Ended in the 3-2 Manchester United win in front of just 13,000
08:5270,000 here watching Manchester United suffer. Here's Poro
09:02Johnson Kuleshevsky Poro
09:04Kuleshevsky Poro
09:06Just couldn't dig it out Poro. It was really good football again from Spurs
09:15Brennan Johnson through the legs and then from Kuleshevsky
09:18Kuleshevsky
09:30Spence who's going to be booked for handball here?
09:44Must have come out from his body it does
09:48I
09:53Dello I got a
10:00Martinez
10:02I
10:15They're a striding Madison with
10:21Martinez arrived at full tilt and sent him spinning
10:27Steps in he does commit the Sandro Martinez
10:33It's a good job that James Madison jumps
10:39Sees him coming just gets out the way
10:46On the receiving end again third yellow card of the season for Martinez three of Manchester United's back four are in the book
10:56Captain is in the shower
11:02I
11:15Took darting from his line matter. Are we necessarily aware?
11:19Oh
11:31Wayne Rooney had a fabulous record in this game as well actually 11 goals for Manchester United against Spurs he scored
11:37two against them on three separate occasions
11:41Shooting in a 5-2 home win for 2009 when Spurs had been two up
11:50A famous punching the corner flag celebration came off the goals against Spurs
11:56Some years later
11:58Good win for him against Luton on Friday night as well. Here's Kuleshevsky roll up here for Timo Werner
12:05I'm so lucky and that has gone well twice
12:08Almost a mirror the position shot from in the first half
12:15We're not as close to this one
12:18Beautiful play rise challenges Kuleshevsky and plays a brilliant pass through takes Mazraoui out
12:25But Anana just anticipates doesn't he gets down reads what burners gonna do?
12:32Telegraphs it the Spurs wide man
12:35But it could be four or five quite simply should be four or five
12:40With some brilliant chances Spurs playing really good football Kuleshevsky Madison. They're just running the game
12:54Kuleshevsky Rashford's tackle Casimiro
12:59Rashford
13:01Mounts up ahead of him in the center forward
13:03Mounts up ahead of him in the center forward position
13:06Through to him Benton course or to that
13:11Solanke Johnson
13:33Oh
14:03Oh
14:09Casimiro
14:14Madison should go to good
14:23Well, it's not just because of the ten minutes exactly like that in the first half when I said 11
14:33Half an hour of this game to go premature to look ahead to what's next, but United have two very tough away games
14:42Go to Porto in the Europa League on Thursday and then last game before the next international break at Villa
14:51Broken up by Martinez
14:53And then last game before the next international break at Villa
14:58Woken up by Martinez
15:02There's no easy escape from the doldrums
15:06Perhaps are a goal here gone at Joe
15:09Oh
15:23Manchester United's first corner of the game ticking up towards the hour Mason Mount to take it
15:32Plainly they need to score next
15:35No
15:37Martinez with the header cries from the strapping end of handball against Kulosevsky
15:45So close to him as he just deflects it
15:50Not sure even it's his arm, but even if it does it's nowhere penalty
15:59Once again
16:04Silenki to go on that show
16:10Rashford gone
16:18And they're screaming handball again
16:21Yeah, yeah, we've got more of a chance with that one United, but the defensive instinct in the
16:30In the chest
16:35I don't
16:39Feel that, you know, the arm is down by the side to the flexion before it gets to it
16:48More indeed for the VAR who is Peter Banks
16:54But a little sniff of hope for Manchester United Casimiro
17:00Look I'll take
17:02Casimiro
17:05Dello
17:08Let it slip away
17:16Heavens
17:22You might be having a word to with the heavens studies
17:32I
17:45Spoke this week of how impatient he is. Absolutely. He says is impatient as any United fan
18:03And again robustly loyally the stretch for them strikes up
18:18Seem to be impossible for now to conjure something
18:33I'll take my show
18:37Martinez
18:40Could be on to mix
18:46Johnson wasn't back in but thought I better get back in just arrives late disease Spence just get underneath it
19:02Oh
19:09Nachos caught a Casimiro flipped across the face
19:14Excuse me cut final goal
19:32I
19:44To having a bit of a rattle now, there's a course they're obliged to do
19:57Just swing a little bit back in the United's favor
19:59And if you could get a goal, it would make it interesting because the crowd
20:03We get right up
20:16By Mount Vicario claims well charging in at it
20:30Freda Madison
20:37Defending attentively
20:41Delictive struggle to get back and Rashford found himself at center back
20:46I
20:58With my poor
21:02Johnson
21:05Mr. Ski
21:07Give him a shot
21:10Look over the shoulder shoulder through the sesquice
21:15What he was doing knew exactly what Garci was going to do
21:20Smart
21:22Just leans forward and pops it right across him
21:27The foul book gets that one in the book
21:30Just United's fifth yellow card of the day in addition to one red
21:35I
21:45Conspiring over the dead ball with Kulishev ski
21:52Event in the thick of it Romero beyond the back post Solanke just in advance of the penalty spot
22:02With Benton core
22:06A
22:09Sesquiche picks up off rashford
22:12Johnson
22:35Oh
22:50That's where we
23:06Four points for Manchester United last year the game away from taking the first three this
23:19Yes, I've seen Jade Spence bring grass ahead of him and Timo Werner
23:35I
23:55By van de Ven at the back of mounts it's interesting time in the game where United
24:00I
24:03Commit more bodies forward
24:06To a counter-attack the crowd are just sort of getting involved a little bit because they picked up in this last ten minutes
24:14So you think something's gonna give that's a Super Bowl from Dallo
24:17Oh
24:26From the benches that not just United are preparing an alternative center forward in Rasmus Hoyland
24:35Encourage them
24:37Casimiro
24:39Mostly steered as well. He was the target Jade Spence got his work done
24:48To
24:50Scandinavians Ericsson and Hoyland
24:54Potentially to change it for United who need it changing Martinez Casimiro
25:00That's close
25:09With a little looped ball and gets really good contact on it Casimiro on the half volley
25:15He's a looky
25:46And event
26:04It's fence against the new doggy in the second half the Spurs
26:11Who really got them up and running so probably in the first half
26:15I
26:23Maris give away to licked on to it Martinez turning Rashford looking
26:33On that show Dallo
26:35I
26:42Did the best period in the game to Licks
26:48As well gone at show
26:52Helping out his fullback, but then slipping over the ball rashford
26:57On that show
26:59I
27:03We can't say
27:12Casimiro
27:17Casimiro this Sandra Martinez off goes burner
27:29I
27:31Slip clear of mass raw wheat Timo Werner behind
27:41As well in his first part, but the last part he has to find
27:46White shirt
27:51Chance to attack it gone at show lovely feet
27:59And they're hinting at believing here
28:14To United changes Manuel Agathe
28:17Wouldn't have wanted to remember his full home Premier League debut like that
28:21Christian Eriksen, of course once beloved of Tottenham Hotspur is his replacement and in place of Marcus rashford
28:27Rasmus Hoyland becomes United's third different centre-forward of the day
28:40Ericsson is charged immediately with the corner
28:49Beat no one bounced out for Verna
28:57Back to good effect fellow Casimiro
29:04Come on that show Corral ends on him. It's a free kick
29:12And the booking for Pedro Poro
29:23Still
29:24Poro and doesn't really just track the run
29:30To be careful careful spurs here just giving away a few set pieces United just lifted
29:38Well, what's been pretty constant attacks in the last ten minutes?
29:43It's raining again
29:46Christian Ericsson with the free kick
29:54To the near post to that he's played in been very good
30:17Martinez
30:19Like Casimiro Hoyland
30:22To Licks
30:29Committee bodies for the Licks stayed up Martinez. He's playing like a midfield player. You see him here come over to the far side
30:34He's out of the game as a centre-back. So Ericsson's gonna have to play there at Masraoui
30:40Spurs just happy to get control of the game again
30:42Three spurs changes on the point of occurring
30:51Three spurs changes on the point of occurring
31:04In ten core Poro
31:07Kuleshevsky Johnson's wide of him Solanke through the middle
31:10Madison tossing up to Brennan Johnson James Madison
31:19That's out of trouble with Masraoui's help
31:27Mero
31:29In the vent
31:32Madison
31:35Solanke
31:37Scoops up and behind for a corner
31:41Here come the three top level alterations
31:50First off goal scorer Brennan Johnson goal scorer inside the first three minutes
31:55Okay, running courtesy of a phenomenal gallop from Vicky van de Ven
32:04He also played his part in teeing up day and Kuleshevsky for the second
32:09So another day at the end of which Brennan Johnson has more than good reason to smile
32:15It's way to be impossibly young Mikey Moore for whom a second appearance in the Premier League Timo Werner
32:22Is also to be replaced?
32:26This case
32:29Burgvall
32:32I
32:34Changed Madison's race is also run. Postacoglu looks to firm it up with Pat Mata saw
32:52Substitutes respectively 17 18 and 22 years of age
33:0218 year old sweet over the corner
33:06Burgfeld
33:15And he too rejoices in a purple patch
33:21The stir shirt week on week fits him
33:26more tightly
33:28He feels the parts
33:32United bedraggled
33:34And a big moment for Solanke and Papi Saru's just entered the pitch get some congratulations as well of his teammates
33:49Little flick in the near post
33:52Bergfeld with a really good delivery
33:55And Solanke's on the move the Manchester United back line
33:59Across that six-yard box. He's just static it holds its line Dallo goes back in
34:05But he just stretches
34:09Just gets the studs on it, and he's enough is so close to an arm. He's no chance set the forwards goal
34:14It's looking soggy and sad for Manchester United perhaps our first touch that telling us is
34:2124 seconds after he crossed the white line
34:24And it was a touch let us not forget from a corner taken by a player who across the white line at more or less
34:30the same time
34:34And it was a touch let us not forget from a corner taken by a player who across the white line at more or less the
34:39same time
34:45I
34:47Dominic Solanke scored home and away against United for Bournemouth last season
34:53He has contributed
34:56To large part the emptying all traffic
35:14I
35:45A little bit of pressure Spurs
35:516575
35:54Did okay, but couldn't get that goal
35:59Secured the victory that they deserve would be really good
36:05Let's fence
36:08Mikey more
36:11We kick
36:19Spurs are going to protect Micky van de Ven for what remains
36:22Every tradition who made his debut on this ground was also sent off very early in the European game midweek
36:29He comes on for a van de Ven who made
36:32the
36:34first
36:35Most significant impacts on the game very early on
36:40Yeah
36:42Gary
36:44Yeah, I'm gonna give him under the match
36:45I mean with ten minutes to go I think you can safely say Spurs are gonna win this game and I think for that
36:49run in the first half was
36:51so brilliant
36:54But he deserves it just for that alone
36:59Once like a steeplechaser doesn't he
37:03Those who looks as though he could run fast over a long distance
37:07And indeed he did and when I say steeplechaser, I'm not sure whether I mean human or horse
37:13Covers the ground extraordinary
37:21Issue here for Mason Mount
37:27Here's to be a hit to the head
37:29I
37:36Really committed
37:41Ericsson there actually
37:43And thinking about his comments after the FC 20 game on Wednesday evening where he said that se 20 wanted it more
37:51That's quite alarming when a senior player of his stature
37:54I mean the manager it leaves him nowhere to go when someone like Ericsson says that
38:00But he must feel that there is a real
38:02attitude
38:04intensity problem
38:08He's been around the block Christian Ericsson
38:17Monday night football this weekend
38:20Bournemouth against Southampton is the game Graham Potter for the Southampton player. Of course is the guest
38:27Half-past six on Sky Sports Premier League
38:32We have in the house today a couple of players there Jay field Kate Ellis
38:36Australians for Wigan Rugby League Club who next Saturday have their Super League semi-final playoff against Lee Leopards
38:44For the right to play in a fortnight's time on this ground in the grand final
38:49Against the whole Kingston Rovers or Warrington Wolves
38:53And play on Friday night
38:57I said nasty here to Mason Mount. That's really unfortunate for him
39:03Right now in his life. It seems it doesn't rain, but it falls. There's always something
39:08He's losing blood
39:15It's hard to think that he will come back on in that state
39:21So Victor Lindelof who's been out of the picture for a while
39:24He's for what it's worth gonna get these last seven minutes. We did play stoppage time of the cup final
39:31Since when a couple of friendlies for Sweden in June and so he's eager to get on
39:36but actually
39:38It now looks as though he's been told to turn around and sit down again
39:40So poor the captain of Manchester United are currently defending with nine men
39:58An important day for both Antspos de Coglou and the team
40:01I think it's a bit of a shame that the team has lost the game
40:04I think it's a bit of a shame that the team has lost the game
40:06I think it's a bit of a shame that the team has lost the game
40:08Important day for both Antspos de Coglou and Eric Ten Hag in terms of the trajectory of this season
40:18So the sub sub is Mason Mount
40:29His step
40:31A
40:36Very important day for both these teams languishing in the table
40:40But the pressure is going to get ramped right up this week here at Old Trafford
40:45He's gonna be pretty brutal. It's gonna be a big job to lift these players and get them back to a point where they believe
40:52In something that's happening and Eric ten has got to do that job
40:58It's a bad day for him
41:00Really bad.
41:02The win for Tottenham will take them up to ten points, up to eighth place, within five of the lead.
41:07A defeat for Manchester United will leave them beneath halfway in the Premier League in 11th spot.
41:15Pending Bournemouth's results tomorrow.
41:19They could stick further down even than that.
41:22In fact, losing 3-0 has taken them beneath Brentford today on goal difference.
41:26So it could be 12th, 13th, by the time the weekend is all over.
41:49Eriksen, Casemiro, Ahmad, Eriksen.
41:57Hoyland will chase it willingly, Porro's not for bypassing.
42:00It's good work from Porro, up against the taller and stronger Hoyland.
42:05Just holds his ground, swivels and turns and plays his way out.
42:09Konasiewski, Bergwalt.
42:14Five on three. Bergwalt had a dreamy hit.
42:20A really good day for Spurs, a really good day for Ange-Pastekoglou,
42:25who's been under a little bit of pressure, people asking questions in the last few weeks.
42:30But they've played really well today.
42:33This time last year, and far from his predicament now,
42:37for Ange-Pastekoglou the honeymoon was still in its full romantic prime.
42:42This actually was the weekend of the 2-1 Spurs win against Liverpool,
42:46VAR all of that, the Luis Diaz goal.
43:00Next weekend last year Spurs beat Luton narrowly,
43:03and went to the top of the league and stayed there for quite a while.
43:08Didn't lose a course until that crazy Monday night against Chelsea.
43:12Dalot.
43:17FULL-TIME WHISTLE
43:25Eriksen, Hoyland!
43:46FULL-TIME WHISTLE
44:00He's crossed away by Fabio Silva.

44:45Stop by Casemiro.
44:47The last knockings, 90 seconds or 90 minutes to play.
44:50Garnaccio.
44:54Just a little passage in the second half
44:56when United looked as though they believed they might.
45:01So Nike's third goal for Tottenham has put paid to that brief dream.
45:07FULL-TIME WHISTLE
45:17FULL-TIME WHISTLE
45:22Mikey Moore chases it out.
45:24Mazraoui's there.

47:10Eriksen.
47:13Dalot.
47:20Garnaccio!
47:24Wide, near post from Delicte.
47:28I think he might want to sweep it with his left foot,
47:30he's just passed the near post,
47:32so to actually use the outside of your right foot is really challenging.

50:06as it gets.
50:36Hamad, Eriksson, Spurs are proud of their clean sheet.
50:52Successive 3-0 home defeats in the Premier League for Manchester United.
51:06Poro, Hoyland, Hamad.
51:25Pumped away by Poro, how much energy does Kunasewski have left?
51:36Spread by Bentancourt.
51:41Mikey Moore!
51:46There was a teenage kick.
51:47It's been sharp since he's come on, Mikey Moore.
51:53Beautiful curling shot, just a yard too wide.
51:58He's looked interesting in this game, over on that far side into Masraoui.
52:03It's been tough for the full-back.
52:10Really good day for Spurs, good day for those Spurs fans that have travelled
52:13in that far corner, and for Ance Postecoglou.
52:16I think Purs is a real asset to the Premier League.
52:20The glory-glory game is Tottenham's, and by a monstrous margin,
52:26Manchester United bedraggled and beaten, drenched and downhearted.
52:32Spurs were terrific from the outset.
52:36Purposeful, pacey, penetrative.
52:39They meant it.
52:40Brennan Johnson is living his best life.
52:43Four goals in four games.
52:45Dejan Kunasewski artfully, soon after half-time, doubled the lead,
52:49which by then was against ten men.
52:51Bruno Fernandes had taken his leave somewhat contemptuously.
52:56Dominic Solanke now is 3-3, having applied from right on the line.
53:01The third goal at the expense of Eric Ten Haag,
53:05who, in common with those he charges, appears bemused, a little lost, grey-faced.
53:14Wonderful from Tottenham, Gary, but for United, this is grim.
53:19Brilliant for Tottenham, and we should talk about that first,
53:22because it shouldn't be lost that we would be saying pretty harsh words
53:25about Hans Postekoglu, Spurs, if they were on the receiving end
53:29of this type of performance today, and they were outstanding.
53:32They played really good football from minute one,
53:34they settled into the game and got good goals just at the right time,
53:38and their £60m man gets one as well.
53:41Van de Ven was special for that first goal,
53:43but for Manchester United, those Manchester United fans boo the referee
53:46going off in the corner, but that's only, well, not even half the story.
53:51The big story today is that in that first half,
53:54I can't say from nowhere, because Manchester United have been inconsistent
53:58all season, but they have chosen to put in the very worst possible performance,
54:02their very worst possible showing.
54:05It was an absolutely disgusting performance in that first half,
54:08in effort, quality, everything you'd want in a football team,
54:12and there are going to be a lot of questions to answer for that group
54:16and the manager in the next week.
54:19Tottenham are having a lot of fun, he is not.
54:23Manchester United 0-0, Spurs 3-0, and now, Kelly, the aftermath.
54:29Peter and Gary, for now, thank you very much,
54:31but Gary Neville is going to join us very shortly from the gantry
54:34to give us further thoughts on that Manchester United performance.
54:38They're making their way off the pitch here at Old Trafford,
54:41the Spurs players are making their way over to the corner of the stadium
54:45where their fans are, and Darren, let's start by taking your cue
54:48from Peter and Gary and praising Tottenham for their part in this game
54:52and the performance that they put in at a time when the manager,
54:55the players have been under pressure.
54:57Yeah, fantastic from start to finish, especially that first half,
55:00real intent from the very first whistle, caused Manchester United problems,
55:04got their goals, were clinical in front of goal,
55:06probably should have had more if you're nitpicking,
55:08but I thought they defended really well.
55:10Van de Ven's pace for that first goal, his defensive display
55:12throughout this night and the minutes was exceptional,
55:14and they just looked more comfortable in this system.
55:16You all know the way Ant wants to play, at times it is a little bit chaotic,
55:20but today they were so comfortable, Manchester United didn't offer anything,
55:23didn't cause them any real problems, and to be fair, as I said,
55:26I think 3-0 does almost, does the injustice to the Spurs,
55:29because I thought it should have been more, they had chances,
55:31they invented Maddison in that 10-run was fantastic,
55:34and if you're a big Ams fan and you're looking at what this team's done,
55:37you're so proud coming here, this place used to be a fortress,
55:39Manchester United, so hard to get points, get anything,
55:41now everyone's rocking up, taking points,
55:43and that Spurs performance today, absolutely superb.
55:46It's the highest xG that Manchester United have faced at Old Trafford,
55:49they created nine big chances, Tottenham,
55:52which is as many as Newcastle created in their 8-0 win
55:55over Sheffield United last season.
55:57It was a dominant performance, it was a 3-0 scoreline in the end.
56:00From Manchester United's point of view, Ashley,
56:03this was an extremely disappointing performance,
56:06it felt flat in the ground and it looked flat on the pitch.
56:09Can you point to any reasons as to why it might have happened?
56:13I think Manchester United just didn't give anything.
56:16There was no effort, there was no work rate, no-one was running,
56:19it didn't look like there were no leaders on the pitch.
56:22Everything just seemed disjointed,
56:24it looked like there were just so many individuals all over that pitch
56:27and no-one wanted to take the ball, no-one wanted to create anything.
56:31It was just everything was bad from start to finish.
56:35When we talked at half-time about who was the home team,
56:39Tottenham was so comfortable.
56:41Man United didn't lay a glove on them, they didn't do nothing,
56:44they didn't get in behind, but they created a couple of chances as well.
56:49But they didn't look to build on that at all.
56:52Like you say, Tottenham's two centre-halves,
56:54I don't think they were troubled.
56:56They were moving all over the pitch,
56:58they had so many different chances, different opportunities.
57:02Like I say, it just looked like Tottenham were the home team
57:05and the United fans are going to go away disappointed,
57:08and rightly so as well.
57:10It feels, from the Manchester United fans that we're seeing,
57:14from the atmosphere that we heard inside the ground,
57:17that these Manchester United fans almost look like they've given up,
57:21that they're beyond being angry.
57:23Yeah, because it gets to a point where you almost feel
57:26almost sorry for the manager as well.
57:28He looks completely out of his depth,
57:30he's struggling to motivate this team.
57:32We'll go in more in depth once we come back after the break.
