Manchester United were held to a frustrating 1–1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, leaving former defender Gary Neville questioning the effort and energy of Michael Carrick’s side, with two midfielders, Youri Tielemans and Kobbie Mainoo, coming under particular scrutiny.
Despite Spurs being reduced to 10 men following Rodrigo Bentancur’s dismissal, United failed to hold on to their lead after Bryan Mbeumo’s 73rd-minute opener. Dominic Solanke struck a stoppage-time equalizer to deny Michael Carrick’s side all three points, leaving United 12th in the Premier League after six games.
