MANCHESTER UNITED were reduced to ten men and subsequently thumped by Tottenham in an Old Trafford shocker.
Anthony Martial was sent off for a slap on Erik Lamela – and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side them imploded to lose 6-1 to the side managed by their former boss Jose Mourinho.

Things had started so well for the Red Devils when Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot after just two minutes.
But it ended in horrible fashion, as two goals apiece from Heung-min Son and Harry Kane and strikes from Tanguy Ndombele and Serge Aurier turned it into a pasting.
Here, SunSport’s Paul Jiggins runs the rule of how United’s players fared – and it makes grim reading.
DAVID DE GEA – 5
Could not be blamed this time – although at no stage did you fancy him to keep Spurs at bay.
AARON WAN-BISSAKA – 3
The right winger sorry, full-back’s defensive capabilities were ruthlessly exposed by Son.
ERIC BAILLY – 3
Was more like Bill Bailey as he played a major role in United’s comical display at the back.

HARRY MAGUIRE – 3
A shadow of his former confident and dominant self. Seems to be shrinking in stature with every game.
LUKE SHAW – 3
Showed why United want Telles. Like his fellow defenders he earned two of those marks for managing to put his boots on the correct feet.
PAUL POGBA – 3
Losing a 50-50 challenge to Lamela early on set the tone for the Frenchman’s latest lacklustre display.

NEMANJA MATIC – 3
Could not get near Ndombele in midfield – which is a sentence nobody has ever read or heard before.
MASON GREENWOOD – 4
Must have wished he was holed up in an Icelandic hotel room as at least there he would have received some decent service.
BRUNO FERNANDES – 3
A hop and a skip to give United a second minute lead from the spot before he was given the high jump at half time.
MARCUS RASHFORD – 4
Another attacker whose hopes of a decent performance were dashed by events at the other end.
ANTHONY MARTIAL – 4
United’s best player before his petulance – however much Lamela made of it – hammered a crucial nail in the coffin.

SUBS
SCOTT McTOMINAY (for Matic 46) – 5
Would be unfair to down-mark him for being unable to salvage this. Like asking to raise the Titanic.
FRED (Fernandes 46) – 5
You know how far United have sunk when they send on the Brazilian to try to save the day.
DONNY VAN DE BEEK (Greenwood 68)
Probably relieved he was on the bench after this. No time to change Patrice Evra’s opinion.
NOT USED: Lindelof, Mata, Lingard, Henderson.
