Troubles continue to brew for Manchester United as they lost against Tottenham Hotspur by 3-0 at the Old Trafford. With this, the Spur continues to have a great run of a time at the Premier League 2018. Mauricio Pochettino's team thrashed United as they suffered from the worst defeat since 1992-93. Manchester United now slipped on number 13 at the Premier League table. With six changes in the squad, Man United stepped on to the field with utmost confidence.

The game started well for United all thanks to the sloppy defence by the Spurs. However, Romelu Lukaku missed a shot at the goal post. The first half of the game remained goalless as chances were missed by both the sides. However, it was England captain Harry Kane who scored a goal at the 50th minute. The defence of Manchester United came under the scanner. Lucas Moura scored the second goal for the Spurs at the 52nd minute. By now, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was clearly looking for a place to hide. (Check out the video highlights of the match.)

Spurs fans at the Old Trafford took a jibe at the Mourinho with the chants of, “Sacked in the morning' and 'You're not special anymore.” Only a handful of fans stayed back to watch the third goal by the Spurs by Lucas Moura at the 84th minute. The Man United did try to make a comeback into the game but it was too late and the Spurs were celebrating their rare victory against the opponents. Tottenham Spur is now just one spot behind Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool, who leads the table.

During the post-match interview he had a defensive tone and said, “We worked all week and from the tactical point of view we didn’t lose, but we lost the game. But all our fans don’t read papers, all our fans don’t watch television, all our fans are more intelligent than that — they answered in an absolutely amazing way. I don’t think it’s normal to lose a game at home and the supporters to react the way they did.”
