Manchester United can’t catch a break. Erik Ten Hag’s side suffered another defeat in the 2024-25 Premier League, losing 3-0 to Tottenham at Old Trafford. This latest setback leaves the team in 13th place and puts the manager under serious pressure.
Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke were the scorers for the ‘Spurs,’ which are now at the eighth spot of the table. Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes was sent off after receiving a straight red card due to a tackle at 47’.
With Tottenham also going through a rough patch, this match was crucial against a potential direct competitor for a European spot. But even when it was 11 vs. 11, United didn’t seem to pose much of a threat. As soon as the visitors scored, the hosts completely fell apart.
Throughout the first half, United played at the mercy of their opponent, who controlled nearly 70% of possession and only allowed a couple of dangerous counterattacks. This is the second consecutive loss at home for United by +3 goals this season, after they also were beaten 3-0 by Liverpool two matchdays ago.
According to OptaJoe, United have now suffered more Premier League defeats by 3 or more goals since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure (23 in 424 matches) than they did during his entire tenure (22 in 1,035 games). Although Ten Hag has proven to be a manager who can handle pressure, this time the issues may have piled up too high to overlook.
Being a Manchester United is a social experiment to see how much pain a man could possibly handle
