Andre Onana 5/10
MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Richarlison’s header glanced past him, meaning Spurs scored in 33 consecutive league games, a club record. Looked vulnerable at Spurs’ excellent corners. On his knees when Bentancur placed the ball in for the second. Soft goals.

Diogo Dalot 8/10
Tidy at right back but needed to be closer to Werner in a 10th-minute attack. Won more tackles, duels, ball recoveries and made more blocks than any other player on the pitch.

Raphael Varane 6/10
Touched the ball 47 times. In a game where United dominated, that figure would be over 100. Instead, he was chasing Spurs fast (and second-string) forwards. Getty ImagesTouched the ball 47 times.

Aaron wan-Bissaka 6/10
The right back played at left back and was competent, though Richarlison was his man for Spurs’ opener. Yellow card for a sliding tackle on Johnson. Charged through the middle to help United’s attack. ReutersThe right back played at left back and was competent, though Richarlison was his man for Spurs’ opener.

Christian Eriksen 5/10
Barely involved – just 20 touches in 57 minutes. Played just under an hour against his former team in a side that was second best for most of the game. Spurs' midfield, though depleted, was superior and dominated. PABarely involved – just 20 touches in 57 minutes.

Kobbie Mainoo 6/10
Up for the physical battle with Betancur, less so with Romero. Twice lost his men at set pieces. Positioning poor for Spurs' second. He’ll learn, he has time. Possession brings calmness is Ten Hag’s mantra. United didn’t have possession. PAUp for the physical battle with Betancur, less so with Romero. Twice lost his men at set pieces.

Alejandro Garnacho 6/10
Did well in the build-up to the opening goal. Difficult against Udogie and the speed of Van de Ven was a challenge. Lovely cross to McTominay at the last.

Bruno Fernandes 6/10
Super ball forward to Rashford in the build-up to the first goal. Hit a shot miles over. Kept trying. Some balls came off, others didn’t for a team still low on confidence.

Marcus Rashford 7/10
Started well, set up the opener, then went past Porro on 15. Got into space, though final balls didn’t convince. His ball was headed against the post on 38, before he scored the second on 39. Brilliant finish. First goal in 15 games at Old Trafford and his best half of a poor season so far. Faded in the second half, like his team.

Rasmus Hojlund 7/10
Smashed the ball into the roof of the net to make it two in two in the Premier League after a dry start. A fine strike. Booked for scrapping with Romero. Still needs more service but that’s hard to come by when your team has 32 per cent of possession.

Timo Werner 6/10
