This weekend, Manchester United took on Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in a match-up that both teams needed to win.
The two English sides were tied in the league table with seven points each, with Spurs one place ahead in tenth thanks to a positive goal difference.
Unfortunately for The Red Devils, the match very quickly went against them with Brennan Johnson opening the scoring in the third minute.
Things went from bad to worse with United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, being sent off in the 42nd minute after a tackle on James Maddison.

Things went from bad to worse in the second half when Ange Postecoglou’s side grabbed two more goals through Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke to seal a 3-0 win.
Thanks to their victory, Spurs have now risen to eighth place in the league, with their next game away to ninth-place Brighton, whilst United have dropped to twelfth-place and are travelling to Villa Park next to take on Aston Villa, without their captain.
Unfortunately, the worries from the game don’t stop there though, with both Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount being taken off due to injury.
Mount came onto the pitch for an injured Mainoo at half-time. However, 40 minutes later at the 85-minute mark, Mount had to be taken back off, replaced by Amad Diallo with his injury.
Thankfully now Mount has taken to his Instagram, posting a story to confirm that he’s ok, captioning it: “I’m all good, just a scratch. Thanks for all the messages.”
