The Club World Cup finally has venues (and Hugh Jackman) ... but FIFA must still convince the world its new competition will work. Concerns over a lack of broadcast partners and sponsors, plus player welfare, still hang heavy. And the clock is ticking. 📝 @melanieanzidei

Dejan Kulusevski created nine chances for Tottenham against Manchester United today, the most on record (since 2003-04) by a visiting player in a Premier League game at Old Trafford. #MUNTOT | #THFC [ @OptaJoe ]

🗣️ "He (James Maddison) said: 'It is a foul but never a red.'" 🗣️ "I think if this is a red card, we have to look at many other incidents." Bruno Fernandes' interview after Manchester United's defeat to Tottenham. 🎥 @SkySportsPL

A dismal dismal day for #MUFC . The key talking points: What now for Ten Hag, Van de Ven’s incredible assist, Fernandes' red card & the importance of Kulusevski. @TheAthleticFC with @jaydmharris & @Walid_4

A fantastic victory for Tottenham who win away at a Big Six side for the first time under Ange Postecoglou. They were brilliant in and out of possession. Van de Ven's incredible assist was the highlight but Dejan Kulusevski was magnificent and the MOTM for me.

Within two minutes of the restart, Tottenham have a second. Brennan Johnson assists Dejan Kulusevski, in a goal which was too easy for the visitors. #MUNTOT | #MUFC | #THFC 🎥 @SkySportsPL

Any plans to keep the game at 1-0 for as long as possible shredded soon after the restart. Another comical goal to concede, with Martinez nowhere near the ball to let Johnson run clear, with Kulusevski free in middle. #MUFC

Dreadful half from #MUFC . So many misplaced passes. Disjointed press. Discipline eroding. Both full-backs on yellows is an issue given the way Spurs are attacking. Ten Hag needs a big reaction after the break.

That is the best half of football Spurs have produced under Postecoglou this season. Relentless & so much better than Man Utd. Solanke leading the press, backed up by Kulusevski & Maddison giving MU no time to settle. Johnson with the tap-in after van de Ven's incredible run.

Implosion at Old Trafford. Fernandes sent off. Made a movement with his studs to Maddison's shin after slipping but drew foot back. Harsh. At same time, Mainoo off injured, feeling his hamstring. Deep trouble for #MUFC - Spurs far superior even before that.

Big save from Vicario to deny Zirkzee from equalising. Man Utd created move down the right while Udogie was off the pitch but he is back on now.

Johnson hits the post! Fantastic move from Spurs as they bait Man Utd's press and then play around them. Udogie driving forward into acres of space before Kulusevski sets up Johnson

Tottenham lead at Old Trafford. Micky van de Ven charges through Manchester United's team, and sets up Brennan Johnson for one of the easiest goals he will ever score. Four goals in four games for the striker now. #MUNTOT | #THFC 🎥 @SkySportsPL
