Manchester United’s struggles continued with a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Both sides have had difficult seasons, but Spurs capitalised on United’s defensive mistakes.
James Maddison reacted quickest after Andre Onana failed to deal with a shot from Lucas Bergvall.

The goalkeeper parried the ball into Maddison’s path, allowing him an easy finish.
Ruben Amorim’s side was poor in attack, failing to trouble a vulnerable Spurs defense.
Despite that, Amorim only turned to his bench in the final minutes of the game.
Chido Obi was introduced late on to make his first-team debut for the club.
The 17-year-old striker had little time to make an impact in his short cameo.
Obi joined United this season after rejecting a professional contract at Arsenal.

He has impressed in the youth teams, netting a hat-trick against Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup.
His call-up was due to United’s injury crisis, with Amad out for the season.
Chido Obi reflected on his “dream” debut despite the disappointing result.
“Disappointed with the loss on a personal note thanks to the gaffer & the club for making a dream come true for me and my family ,” he wrote on Instagram.
Fans were pleased to see Obi get his chance, though many wanted him on earlier.
He was unable to make an impact in three minutes but could have done with more time.
Given United’s struggles, Amorim had little to lose by introducing him sooner.
Hopefully, Obi and other young talents get more chances before the season ends.
With positives hard to come by at Old Trafford, youth promotion is one thing fans can look forward to.
