Manchester United 0-3 Tottenham Hotspurs: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Hit: Kieran Trippier

As far as attack-minded full-backs go, one would be hard pressed to find a better one currently in world football than the 27-year-old English international, who is interestingly, from Manchester himself.

Yet again, Trippier did not disappoint at Old Trafford, playing a starring role for his side that blew away United in the second-half. He played a decisive role in the second goal that gave Spurs an air of comfortability. Trippier played a delightful through ball to Eriksen which was perfectly weighted, and the Dane made no mistake in finding Lucas Moura who swept it home.

Trippier looked like his brilliant self from the right-hand side, rarely misplacing a pass or getting caught in possession, and always finding his offensive players with dangerous line breaking passes. As a bonus for any defence­– he was part of a back-four that kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford.

He was replaced at the 75th minute by Serge Aurier, after enjoying a great spell in the match.
