5 things that went wrong for Manchester United in their 2-0 defeat against Tottenham

It took Eriksen under 11 seconds to get his side going

#4 Phil Jones

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League
His own goal was just the icing on the cake

Phil Jones never ceases to amaze at the heart of Manchester United's defence. He performs well until you start to think that he might finally develop into the player Sir Alex Ferguson had envisioned him to be. And then, he either gets injured or performs the way he did at Wembley.

Jones's performance at the back was absolutely diabolical and his intended 'clearance' that landed in the back of his own net was just adding insult to injury. The England international was never in control of Harry Kane and looked a nervous wreck for the majority of the game.

While Jones has been fairly solid at the back in recent games, he was found out by Tottenham's lively attack and United will be hoping that Eric Bailly will be back from his injury sooner rather than later.
