#2 Abysmal performance by Wayne Rooney
Trending
Despite scoring a consolation goal, it was just papering over the cracks for Manchester United's captain - Wayne Rooney. The club and country veteran was tried in a number of positions against Tottenham but he never looked comfortable anywhere - neither as a striker nor behind one or on the wings. The 31-year-old looked out of his depth in London as it was him who can be said at fault for the first goal.
Rooney was given the job to mark Victor Wanyama in a set piece situation which in itself was a mistake that United committed. And to top it if off the England skipper totally lost his man as the ball was swung in with the Kenyan having the simplest of jobs to keep his header on target from five yards out.
The veteran did not show his usual work rate and also lost possession on numerous occasions. It was a performance which was not expected from the club's top goal scorer but this display reflects just why Jose Mourinho has been right in benching him all along.
