Manchester United correspondent. Jose Mourinho: ‘He always knew the team.’

Carrick 'hurt' by three separate choruses of boos in the second successive draw against the team bottom at KO #mufc

Carlos Baleba's debut was one of the few positives for #mufc tonight

Carrick on the booing: 'When things aren’t quite going to plan I understand the reaction at times. It hurts a lot, it’s not nice to go through, I care as much as anybody.' #mufc

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Boos during the first half, at half-time and full-time from United supporters. Another wholly unconvincing performance and a particularly troubling first half. Baleba and Zirkzee lifted them but conceding to ten men again raises questions about this #mufc's mentality.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Can't begrudge Spurs that. #mufc struggling against ten men again.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Truly clinical from Mbeumo. #mufc have been lifted by the subs. Baleba has been excellent and Zirkzee an asset.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Baleba has been urgent and alert, two qualities #mufc's midfield was devoid of before he came on.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Dalot, Baleba and Zirkzee coming on. #mufc

Tottenham fans after no handball against Maguire: 'Are you City in disguise?' #mufc

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

If Gary Neville had uttered his 'worst 15 minutes' quote about #mufc during that half he'd have had a point. Spurs' dominance subsided but United were largely outplayed and primarily dependent on counter-attack. Similar first 45 to when Spurs battered them in September 2024.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

United fans now booing them going long. Spurs are getting Bergvall and Gallagher to press #mufc into going long to a non-existent striker and have Tonali deep to start attacks. Why Tielemans is starting with Mainoo again is baffling.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Curious that Tielemans is the only #mufc player who has started every game this season. Admitted his body 'switched off' during the World Cup, played three full games for Belgium recently and the midfield balance has not looked right whatsoever (again) so far.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Rarely seen Carrick so animated in the technical area. Appealed to the fourth official a couple of times and urgently got a message across to Yoro. #mufc

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

The Rui Pinto tribute banner placed prominently #mufc

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

£334m spent and that XI is not a top-half standard Tottenham team. Woe betide United if they don't win today. Have to back themselves.

Our Spurs side to face Man Utd 🫡

🔢 @krakenfx

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Yoro started at right back in pre-season and is there today at the expense of Dalot. Baleba on the bench. Amad's recall unsurprising. Tielemans played 90 minutes in three of Belgium's four games and only missed France through suspension. #mufc

RUI PINTO HES ONE OF OUR OWN 🇾🇪

J Gabriel’s dad should be happy: his son appears on the front, middle and back pages of the programme #mufc
