Manchester United endured a thoroughly miserable first half against Tottenham in their Premier League duel at Old Trafford.

Brennan Johnson gave Tottenham the lead within two minutes after wonderful work from Micky van de Ven.

United limped through a miserable first-half performance in which Tottenham should have extended their lead as Andre Onana denied Timo Werner the best chances of the period.

A dismal first 45 also resulted in Bruno Fernandes receiving a red card for his foul on James Maddison.

The home team were booed as the half-time whistle sounded by an angry Old Trafford crowd.

At half-time, United needed some drastic inspiration. Will they get it? Follow our live blog for the latest results and updates.


Half time: Man Utd 0-1 Tottenham

Boos around Old Trafford. Absolutely dismal from United.

48 mins

After four minutes on the pitch, Mount becomes the third United player to receive a yellow card.

44 mins

Mason Mount comes on for Mainoo – but he left the field before the substitution and United are temporarily down to nine players. United can't even get a replacement at the moment.

41 mins

United are down to 10 players as Bruno received a red card for his foul on Maddison. The skipper slipped as he tried to turn but his outstretched boot was high and hit the Spurs star high on the shin.

RED CARD FOR BRUNO FERNANDES

38 mins

For the Spurs it should be two. Werner strolls through the duel and races past de Ligt. Onana is outside and parries, but it's a very weak attempt from the German.

36th minute: Garnacho hits the post!

Close to the Argentine! Rashford's cross lands at the near post to Garnacho, who shoots the ball towards goal for the first time. It bounces off the goal frame, much to Vicario's relief.

32 mins

What a performance from Romero! The tall central defender shoots a half-volley, but his shot goes just wide of the post.

29 mins

This time Dalot carelessly gives the ball away on the edge of his own penalty area. Maddison lets the shot fly, but Maddison easily parries it.

This is absolutely miserable from United.

26 mins

Another stroke of luck for United. Spurs break through again and Johnson hits the ball over the goal where Werner is waiting. Mazraoui reacts brilliantly and knocks the ball away.

25 mins

Ugarte wins the ball high up the pitch but Zirkzee isn't sharp enough to capitalize as his poor pass is quickly intercepted.

22 mins

Chance for United! Mainoo pushes a clever pass to Zirkzee, who has found space in the five-yard area. Vicario goes down to keep it out.

19th minute: Tottenham hits the post!

Tottenham fails by post! Werner and Udogie make Mazraoui and Garnacho a real eye-catcher on the left, while United's press is everywhere.

The ball comes to Johnson from the right, but his shot across the goal goes past the post.

15 mins

Oh dear. Another simple pass runs out of play. Rashford opted to leave it to the overlapping Dalot. The only problem was that the full-back had no room to attack.

13 mins

United is sleepwalking here. Spurs seem ready to break through every time they stumble across the halfway line.

10 mins

Wonderful football from Spurs. Maddison leaves Ugarte dazed with a great one-two with Kulusevski, but Onana quickly comes out and saves.

9 mins

Some life from United. Rashford races through the inside left channel and forces Vicario to make a save at the post. Raising the offside flag means it wouldn't have counted anyway.

8 mins

Zirkzee shoots a simple pass out of the field, denying a pretty lame attempt by United to get up the field. The crowd at Old Trafford is already groaning, and rightly so.

“Rubbish from Rashford”

Gary Neville's words on co-commentary. Rashford was far too tame as van de Ven took him to the ball before sprinting straight towards goal.

Man Utd 0-1 Tottenham

Oh my God. It's great from Micky van de Ven, who picks the ball up low and shoots it upfield past the United shirts before passing Brennan Johnson in with ease.
