Tottenham Hotspur 0-3 Manchester United: Hits and flops as Red Devils make a timely return to winning ways

#3 Hit: Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Wan-Bissaka proved to be an excellent wing-back for United

Regarded as one of the best defensive full-backs in the country, Wan-Bissaka flourished in his more advanced role in this game. The Englishman was given the freedom to bomb forward, an opportunity that he accepted with glee, showcasing a new side to his game.

While his final product still leaves little to be desired, Wan-Bissaka was a constant threat down United’s right flank. His tireless running, combined with some nifty footwork, saw him work some quite presentable opportunities during the course of the game.

At the other end, he was part of a solid United defense that did not allow Spurs a single shot on target.

Were he to grow accustomed to attacking with more regularity, Wan-Bissaka could add another dimension to United’s formidable attack.

#4 Flop: Oliver Skipp

Skipp had an outing to forget in the Spurs midfield

It was an outing to forget for Oliver Skipp, who was completely overrun in the Spurs midfield. The youngster was largely anonymous during his time on the pitch, struggling to make any sort of impact in proceedings.

Skipp was beaten to the ball far too easily in the build-up to United’s second goal, an error that prompted his near-immediate substitution. He will be looking to put this performance behind him as quickly as he can.

#5 Hit: Bruno Fernandes

Fernandes (L) shone in midfield for Manchester United

Since he made the switch to the Premier League, few players have had an impact like Fernandes has had at Manchester United. The Red Devils’ midfield talisman has been a regular supplier of goals as well as assists, and shone again in this game.

Covering an astonishing amount of ground during his time on the pitch, Fernandes contributed both offensively and defensively. Among the four chances (the most in the game) he created was Ronaldo’s opener. It was a delicately chipped cross that found its target perfectly. He also stole the ball from Skipp for United's second goal.

Recognizing his importance to the team, Solskjaer took Fernandes off in the 76th minute with Champions League football on the horizon.
