Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester United: Five talking points

#4 United's pace in attack is proving unstoppable

Action from the match.

In all the pre-season games we have seen United play, they have looked devastating on the break. With the likes of Daniel James, Mason Greenwood, and Martial, United owned the Tottenham defense throughout the first half. So much so that James alone was fouled in the final-third more than three times and one of the fouls from Moussa Sissoko should have been a straight red.

Early in the game, United's press caused Tottenham a lot of problems as Martial hit the post early on when James pressed Sissoko into making a mistake and unleashing Martial through on goal. In the second half though, the pressing from the different front three of Rashford, Mata and Gomes was a little bit disjointed but that doesn't take away the fact that United have shown a lot of pace in the attacking third throughout the pre-season.
