    I'm sorry but this is absolutely shambolic from United. Slow, aimless, just punting the ball around the pitch hoping it finds a red shirt. Rashford unable to beat a man. Fernandes moaning yet producing equally turgid football. Sunday league stuff. No improvement since 2013.

    Graham

    To be fair to United, they started last season like this and at one point looked like they'd be challenging for the title. Fans might be less patient this season though!

  2. Tottenham 2-0 Man Utd

    Two changes for Manchester United as they try to set up a grandstand finish. Facundo Pellistri and Anthony Martial are on for Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford.

    God’s bones it is hilarious to read all the sofa experts/ pundits. Football supporters are so impatient and shortsighted. Have day off

    You can't argue that they don't deserve it, Tottenham have been excellent in this second half.

    This is the Tottenham that the fans want to see. United may have shaded the first half but Tottenham have definitely been the better side in the second.

    GOAL - Tottenham 2-0 Man Utd

    Ben Davies

    Tottenham wrap up the three points!

    A terrible goal to concede as far as Manchester United are concerned as Ivan Perisic is left unmarked on the left flank, he sends a low ball into the box, Ben Davies gets an ever so slight touch but then Lisandro Martinez gets a bigger touch to divert the ball into the net.

    It goes down as a Davies goal.

  6. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Wrong decision by Lisandro Martínez as he plays a ball into the box to no-one and Tottenham are happy to eat up a few more seconds.

    For me Bruno Fernandes is the weakest link. No way near captain level. Not for me and not in my United team.

    Steve

    Don't think I've sworn so much in frustration at Utd in a long time.

    Anon

    We are going to get embarrassed in the Champions League by even lesser teams.

  8. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Good idea from Ben Davies as he stabs the ball into the box, Dejan Kulusevski chases after it but just can't quite keep it in play.

    Tottenham are looking pretty comfortable as we enter the closing stages.

  9. 'Bright future for Sarr'

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Chris Waddle
    Ex-England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Brilliant, a lot of energy, was easy to see why Postecoglou picked him to start.

    Loves to get forward and join in. A very good performance him and Bissouma in the middle.

    A bright future.

  10. SUBSTITUTION

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Standing ovation for Pape Matar Sarr as he goes off - a brilliant midfield display.

    Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is brought on to help see this out.

  11. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Pape Matar Sarr has been outstanding in this game. He's not just got the goal but he strides across now to slide and deflect the ball out for a throw as Marcus Rashford tried to break down the line.

  12. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Crikey. Almost comedic defending as Christian Eriksen slips as he tries to pass on the edge of the area and Raphael Varane has to go safety first and put behind for a corner.

    Manchester United are looking bang average, as they did against Wolves. If they continue this throughout the season they’ll struggle in Europe and can’t see them getting top 4.

    Chris

    Reshad: Spurs have a clear identity in 2 games with their new manager. Man United don't have any clear plan, and are lacking any players in the midfield that can overpower the opposition.

    Shane: Zero bite up front, fragile and stretched in midfield, and brittle in defence, it's not looking too promising for United

  14. Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Manchester United haven't been great in this half but while there is only one goal in it they have every chance of getting a result.

    Bissoma is a class act. We've finally got our replacement for Moussa Dembele - the guys got glue on his boots!

    Douglas

    Ange has really messed up Spurs from the looks of things. If they’re not careful people might start taking them seriously.

    Nick

    Watching Bissouma today and last week, what were (all) the Spurs managers doing last year! He barely got a game, he’s been a joy these 2 matches.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    No goal today for Richarlison as he is going off. He doesn't look happy either, no doubt with his own performance as he has been too quiet again.

    Destiny Udogie goes off to a really good reception after an impressive display. Ivan Perisic and Ben Davies are on.

  17. Team news - Alvarez & Dias back for City, Newcastle unchanged

    Man City v Newcastle (20:00 BST)

    Man CityBBC Sport

    Manchester City make two changes from the side that beat Sevilla on penalties to win the Uefa Super Cup in Athens on Wednesday.

    Ruben Dias replaces Nathan Ake in the centre of defence, while Julian Alvarez is preferred to Cole Palmer in attack.

    Injuries and illness means City have a youthful-looking bench, and five of their eight replacement outfield players are academy graduates aged 21 or under.

    Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland, Grealish

    Subs: Ortega, Phillips, Ake, Gomez, Perrone, Bobb, Palmer, Lewis McAtee

    Newcastle name the same starting XI that thumped Aston Villa 5-1 on the opening weekend.

    That means summer signings Harvey Barnes and Valentino Livramento have to wait for their first start for the Magpies - they are both on the bench again, with striker Callum Wilson also among their substitutes.

    Newcastle XI: Pope, Trippier. Schar, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Isak, Gordon.

    Subs: Dubravaka, Lascelles, Wilson, Ritchie, Targett, Barnes, Livramento, Anderson, Longstaff.

    Tottenham have been excellent in this second half, the tempo, the confidence, the attacking play.

    Manchester United on the other hand have been terrible since half time.

    A goal would do the world of good to Richarlison's confidence. He has been quiet but is not far off meeting a ball into the box.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

    Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag makes a triple change as ex-Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen comes on along with Diogo Dalot and Jadon Sancho.

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho head off.
