Obviously it depends on Fred playing like that more than once but Man Utd looked good against Tottenham.

Looks like Ten Haag has quickly learned the English for ‘lads, It’s Tottenham’.

That Man Utd midfield is fly
When Christian Eriksen didn’t make the starting line-up for United, I worried that our midfield would struggle to break down a solid-looking trio of Bentancur, Højbjerg and Bissouma (whom I consider to be one of the best value signings of the summer window).
However, I was happily proven wrong. Whilst there was an element of fortune to each of Fred and Bruno’s goals, it can’t be argued that the scoreline was undeserved – especially given Casemiro’s first-half whistler and Lloris’s heroics.
United’s trio absolutely dominated the midfield, rarely letting Spurs into our half, creating and scoring our best chances. Whilst I’m not claiming anything close to equivalence with the midfield of our cross-city rivals, full credit is due to each of them for a superb performance tonight – hopefully what has long been a problem area for United can become the foundation for some long awaited improvement in the midfield arrest.

Somebody has forgotten about Jose at Chelsea…
Following yet another big scalp very early on in his Man Utd career, it’s probably about time we evaluate Erik’s start as Man Utd manager. My question to the mailbox is, can you think of a stronger start from a new manager at a big Premier League club?
Erik has beaten Arsenal, Liverpool and now Spurs by a total of 7 goals to two. These are clubs managed by seasoned Premier League campaigners with settled squads, and Erik has engineered impressive wins against all of them with a squad filled with a mixture of new players and players who failed the club so miserably last season.
Context is important here. Erik inherited a squad of misfits bereft of confidence, with its star striker trying to engineer a move away from the club. The way he has gone about transforming the culture at the club in such a short space of time is hugely impressive, and with the signings of Antony, Casemiro and Martinez there is a real touch of South American flair now running through the team.
Casemiro is so, so good, a central midfielder without weakness. He is always in the right position, he never wastes a pass, never shirks a tackle. And hes only going to get better, this is just the start….
