Manchester United’s collapse against Tottenham Hotspur highlighted some of the major issues with their squad - none more so than Erik ten Hag’s lack of quality options to influence matches positively.
United cruised into an early lead against Spurs on Thursday night with Jadon Sancho breaking the deadlock after just seven minutes. Marcus Rashford doubled the visitors' lead just before half-time and at the break, it looked as if Ten Hag’s side were running away with it.
They had dominated the opening 45 minutes and it seemed to be a case of just how many goals they would win by - and in the process extend Tottenham's misery after they were dismantled by Newcastle the previous week.
