MANCHESTER UNITED faced their 12th defeat in the Premier League, with Rasmus Hojlund coming under scrutiny once again.

Andre Onana continued to struggle with shot-collecting, leaving United vulnerable in midfield at times. When opportunities arose, the team failed to convert.

In the 13th minute, Onana pushed Lucas Bergvall’s shot into James Maddison’s path, leading to an early goal. Manager Ruben Amorim, forced to field eight untried teenagers on the bench, has now lost eight of his last 14 Premier League matches, as United finds themselves looking over their shoulders at relegation threats.

The Red Devils’ makeshift attack lacked cohesion, missing three chances in just 30 seconds before Maddison’s opener. Ultimately, United was defeated by Spurs for the third time this season, with returning goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario making several excellent saves in the second half.
