Man United v Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Kulusevski and Solanke score in big win

United have just won their first corner of the game - Martinez won a header and appealed for a handball, but nothing doing. Then there’s another penalty shout - from more players this time - soon after, being Martinez again steers a shot past the post.

Romero did touch the ball with his arm but it wasn’t out or up, so no spot kick.

This is United’s best period of pressure, by which we mean they’ve had a few crosses and one half-hearted shot just wide. Ten Hag on the sidelines wafts his hands around and continues to chew his gum.

Could, or should, be 3-0 - Onana to the rescue with a double save.

Kulusevski takes on two to burst through midfield and feed a brilliant ball to Werner; he shapes up the low shot which Onana gets down for, then the keeper lurches back up to deny the onrushing Johnson from the rebound, too.

Yellow card for Spence for handball; yellow card for Martinez for a lunging slide which took out Maddison.

Richard Jolly at Old Trafford, where the Spurs fans are singing “sacked in the morning” to Erik ten Hag:

“From bad to worse to even worse to.... Manchester United's afternoon is deteriorating still further, the terrific Johnson setting up Kulusevski to volley in. 1-0 flattered United at half-time. 2-0 could lead to rather more.”

A horror show from United defensively.

Martinez misses a challenge on the halfway line, Dalot lunges in and can’t cut the ball out, De Ligt doesn’t cut out hte cross and nobody at all has run with Kulusevski, as he flicks in the second past the keeper.

That would be a no!

Johnson races away down the right flank, delivers a low cross and finds Dejan Kulusevski - he clips one in past Onana and Spurs are immediately two goals to the good.

Djed Spence is on for Udogie at the break for Spurs, Casemiro is on for Zirkzee for United.

Let’s see if they have any kind of better approach play, better tempo about their game or better ability to stop Spurs playing through them.

Richard Jolly at Old Trafford:

“Deserved red card for Bruno Fernandes - that was a dangerous lunge at James Maddison - and an increasingly disastrous day for Manchester United, with Kobbie Mainoo hobbling off.”

Micky van de Ven produced a stunning 70-yard run from defence to set up Brennan Johnson’s opening goal at Manchester United in a “special” assist from the Tottenham centre-back.

Van de Ven pounced on a loose ball in the Spurs half after Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford lost possession, before the Dutch international surged forward from inside the halfway line.

Van de Ven eased away from Manuel Ugarte and past compatriot Matthijs de Ligt to reach the byline before squaring a perfect low cross to the back post, where a grinning Johnson was on hand to tap into the empty net.

Van de Ven beats Garnacho in a foot race down the wing and slide-tackles the ball out of play - that just about sums up the difference between the teams.

The half-time whistle goes and boos ring out, be they for Erik ten Hag, his team or the referee. Could be all three from this home crowd.

Spurs lead, one-nil.

United must be amazed they are only a goal behind. Mount goes straight through Bentancur for no reason and is booked.

They have been so, so far off it in this first half, but Spurs have missed two or three really decent openings to add to Johnson’s early strike.
