Overview
- Bryan Mbeumo scored from a planned corner before Bruno Fernandes sealed the result late on at Old Trafford.
- Tottenham captain Cristian Romero received a straight red for a reckless challenge on Casemiro, triggering a four-match suspension as his second dismissal of the season.
- The victory made it four Premier League wins in a row under interim manager Michael Carrick and left United on 44 points from 25 matches, four clear of fifth-place Chelsea.
- Spurs stayed 14th on 29 points as scrutiny of manager Thomas Frank intensified following a seven-game league run without a win and ongoing selection problems.
- Carrick said Patrick Dorgu faces several weeks out, Mason Mount is close to returning, and Matthijs de Ligt is making progress, with West Ham away next on Tuesday.
