Manchester United vs Tottenham: It's Spurs who need a victory on Wednesday to keep pace with Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
QUESTIONABLE: Harry Maguire (hamstring), Christian Eriksen (illness), Anthony Martial (back) QUESTIONABLE: Dejan Kulusevski (thigh) [this](https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2022/10/12/tottenham-vs-eintracht-frankfurt-spurs-race-back-win-go-top-of-group/) about Spurs’ defense coming under lots of relentless pressure, largely due to their insistence on passing the ball out of the back every time they restart with possession. In the end, Manchester United out-shot Tottenham by a margin of 28-9 (10-2 on target). The table is good for us but in our mind and the mind of our players we need the ambition to play this game in a different way, with more personality, to not miss stupid passes.” 2 midway through the second half to end his nine-game goal-less drought for Man United (all competitions).

“The best performance for Man United of the season so far, and Ronaldo walks off down the tunnel. The former Newcastle striker said: "I understand his frustrations of not being able to get on the pitch but when you look at the bigger picture, his team have put on a really good performance tonight. "The manager had a big call to make in leaving him out and it turned out to be the right decision because they have done everything right. Ten Hag had only used three of his five available substitutes at that point but Ronaldo was seemingly sure he was not going to be used in any capacity and headed for the changing rooms. The French icon said: "I don't know, that's a job he'll have to deal with. We don't know if he [Ronaldo] said to Ten Hag that he was going in. I don't want to find any excuses but we should focus more on the performance of United and stop talking everyday about Cristiano." "Like I said, there was a game, a magnificent game for Manchester United. Ronaldo has struggled for game time under new manager Erik ten Hag after missing pre-season due to 'family reasons' and expressing a desire to leave Old Trafford during the summer transfer window. Maybe he said to Ten Hag: 'I'm going inside to do some treatment'. How disrespectful is that to your teammates!” Not for me anyway."

In the past he has not been shy of confronting somebody. "Ten Hag came off the bench and made very clear that was not accepted by him, shouted to him on the touchline in front of every television camera so everybody could hear it and the public behind the dugout. "He missed pre-season and Ten Hag made it very clear that was vital. There's only one way and it's the Erik ten Hag way.

Man United defeated Tottenham on Wednesday but Cristiano Ronaldo's early exit is threatening to overshadow his teammates' excellent performances.
surely the manager would have known before the season started if he was going to play Ronaldo or not, if he wanted him in his team, if he was someone to build around. If that’s the case, he should have let Ronaldo go. "If he doesn’t see Ronaldo as a starter in his team more often than not, I think he has to release him from his contract. He has to let him go. I think the big problem Erik ten Hag has got is that, coming up to this next window, he has to think very carefully about what he does. I think Ronaldo will be absolutely fuming with that, naturally," Ferdinand said on his

Second-half goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes ensured victory in a game that saw Hugo Lloris pull off a string of fine saves to keep the score down.
But United was ahead at the start of the second half — even if it relied on a touch of fortune when Fred's 47th-minute shot from outside the area was diverted past Lloris by the outstretched leg of Ben Davies. But he recovered to produce saves to deny Marcus Rashford, Fernandes and Luke Shaw before the break, while Antony saw another shot clip the outside of the post. While victory prompted a rapturous response from the crowd — Cristiano Ronaldo threatened to steal the headlines when he walked off to the changing room before the final whistle blew.
A dominant victory over Tottenham shows Manchester United are heading in the right direction under Erik ten Hag, writes Phil McNulty.
Conte is, of course, one of the world's great coaches so who are we to doubt him? See the loss here at Manchester United. Ten Hag said Ronaldo's premature, petulant departure was a matter for tomorrow, as tonight was the time to savour the sort of victory and performance that was exactly what he had in mind when he left Ajax to join this fallen giant. No-one, however, can escape the feeling that Spurs are capable of so much more. See the loss at Arsenal. It was not a good look and only added to the growing impression that he is increasingly an outsider to what Ten Hag wants to build at Old Trafford.

On this occasion, he was not the only United player to do so. I want to get the focus on this team — it was a magnificent performance from all 11 players. Ten Hag felt Rashford had a big impact against the Magpies and decided the England forward was the best option against Spurs. I have to correct myself — it was the subs who came on as well.

— [Manchester United vs. Perhaps backing another stalemate is the best course of action this time.

Emerson Royal is serving a suspension. Anthony Martial is still out, while Harry Maguire is also battling to be fit, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Donny van de Beek remain sidelined. Marcus Rashford was only well enough to appear off the bench versus the Magpies but could usurp Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting XI against Spurs.

A cross-field ball over the top of Tottenham's defence finds Bruno in acres of space. Spurs sorely lacking in composure and control. Only 2-0 but that was comprehensive and comfortable for United, the scoreline flatters them. The Premier League is so exciting." Marcus Rashford didn't score today but did so much, Jadon Sancho too and he was involved in Fred's goal." "We had many good performances, against Newcastle we did a really good performance, controlled the game and did not get the result. Bruno Fernandes spoke to BBC Sport after the match: "Everyone is really pleased, it was a great performance and the perfect performance. Today it was a team performance then individuals can show themselves." "The plan was to get in those spaces, but you need switch of play, dynamic and get their backline back.

Tottenham head to Old Trafford to face Manchester United — follow all the latest updates from the Premier League game.
120 mins to KO: We're here at Old Trafford for a big game in the battle for the top four — and, just maybe, the Premier League title in the case of Spurs. Rashford offers more mobility against the visiting defence, but he was guilty of missing a clear chance to score a late winner against Newcastle — a chance Ronaldo would be expected to score. For Tottenham, Ivan Perisic gets the nod on the left-hand side in what looks like a 5-3-2 set-up. The Brazilian cuts inside on his left foot and curls the ball towards the right-hand upright, which it clips on its way behind for a goal kick. He had a great view just then of a fine crossfield pass from Kane to Doherty, who got into the box but couldn't find the target. The Brazilian squares to Sancho, who lays the ball off to Fred on the edge of the box. Fred tried to turn a loose ball forwards just inside the Spurs box, Dier blocked it back to Fernandes, and he swept a sumptuous first-time finish out of Lloris' reach. Fred, being Fred, launches a counter-attack, loses the ball, then promptly wins it back and gives it to Rashford. 85 mins: Cheers from the home fans as the Spurs contingent try to cheer on their side for a late comeback. Fred then caps a tremendous performance by robbing Kane of the ball, but Rashford is offside as United try to counter. Early in the first half, Conte was yelling and gesturing to his players with practically every kick of the ball, as though moving pieces about a Subbuteo board. He won the ball high up the pitch and was purposeful in possession to keep United attacks moving, helping to give them a balance that hasn’t always been apparent this season.
Manchester United vs Tottenham: It's Spurs who need a victory on Wednesday to keep pace with Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
Pulisic was bright, daring, and did not lack for confidence in almost certainly raising Potter’s eyebrows moving forward. The USMNT winger did enough to get an assist but fellow sub Carney Chukwuemeka and his mates couldn’t supply the dagger. QUESTIONABLE: Allan Saint-Maximin (thigh). Newcastle had been buzzing along in attack until last week, when the scoreless draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford showed the strength of its defense. This will be controversial in some circles (Liverpool circles, really), but Kieran Trippier is playing better than any healthy English fullback in the Premier League right now. That Guimares bought into the project at all is impressive, but Newcastle will find it difficult to resist overtures for the Brazilian international if they can’t fast-forward their European ambitions. Almiron’s form, found: Atlanta United’s most-famous export has five goals this season including four in his last four, and he’s made the extended absence of Allan Saint-Maximin an afterthought. 16:00 Arsenal v Wolves 16:00 Aston Villa v Brighton 16:00 Brentford v Man City 16:00 Chelsea v Newcastle 16:00 Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forest 16:00 Everton v AFC Bournemouth 16:00 Leeds v Spurs 16:00 Leicester v West Ham 16:00 Man Utd v Fulham 16:00 Southampton v Liverpool Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. QUESTIONABLE: Harry Maguire (hamstring), Christian Eriksen (illness), Anthony Martial (back) With only Harry Kane and Son Heung-min up top as Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison are both injured, Tottenham are short on both pressure-releasing outlets and creative sparks. Erik ten Hag’s side dominated proceedings for the entirety of the first half before Fred opened the scoring just two minutes after the restart.

It was also a performance from the substitutes who came on. It was the most that United have managed in over a decade - since the days of Sir Alex Ferguson. "You can lose this type of game but at the same time we have to show much more," said Conte afterwards. What might worry Spurs supporters is that the flow of the game did not change thereafter, United instead pushing for a second. Asked about Ronaldo's decision to walk down the tunnel before the full-time whistle, Ten Hag said: "I don't pay attention to that, I will deal with that tomorrow. Tottenham's plan for the game was obvious before a ball was kicked. Spurs have now gone the same way as Liverpool and Arsenal at Old Trafford. It took another stunning stop from Lloris to prevent Rashford from making it three. Antony struck the foot of the far post, while Lloris was forced into smart saves to deny Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Luke Shaw. The veteran walked off down the tunnel late in the game having not been brought on as a substitute. Antonio Conte's side needed only a point to move above Manchester City into second but they were outplayed for much of the game. This was surely the best performance by United since Erik ten Hag arrived at the club in the summer.

Manchester United put on a thrilling display to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Old Trafford, led by goals from standout performers Fred and Bruno Fernandes.
Rashford exploded into life from the restart, pummelling a shot at the Spurs stopper once more. Bruno finally got the goal his performance deserved with a wicked curler beyond the diving Lloris. The Frenchman then worked overtime as he stopped a Fernandes free-kick and a cracking Luke Shaw volley from hitting the back of the net. Nineteen attempts at smashing the Spurs door down in the first half, and all it took was one nudge in the second. United racked up an incredible 14 shots inside a frantic 30 minutes that saw Bruno and Fred bound forwards to support Rashford down the middle. The Brazilian curled a shot off Lloris’s left post, whipping up the crowd in the process.
