"Bryan Mbeumo scored from a well-worked corner shortly after Tottenham captain Romero saw red for a reckless first-half challenge on Casemiro, with Bruno Fernandes wrapping up a deserved 2-0 victory against Carrick's old club. United's first win against Spurs since 2022 increased their stranglehold on fourth spot and means fan Frank Ilett is in line for a long-awaited trim should the rejuvenated Red Devils rack up a fifth successive win at West Ham on Tuesday."
"The Argentina international made headlines at the start of the week by claiming it was "disgraceful" Spurs only had 11 players available after he went off ill during last Sunday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City. Quite what Romero, or indeed under-fire boss Thomas Frank, will have to say after incurring a four-match ban for his second red card of the season will be interesting."
Michael Carrick's short-term appointment coincided with a run of victories over Manchester City, Arsenal, Fulham and Tottenham, producing a fourth straight win. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring from a well-worked corner shortly after Tottenham captain Cristian Romero was sent off for a reckless first-half challenge on Casemiro. Bruno Fernandes secured a deserved 2-0 victory, United's first win against Spurs since 2022, reinforcing their grip on fourth place. Romero faces a four-match ban and will miss upcoming fixtures, while Destiny Udogie appears to have added to Tottenham's injury problems. Tottenham continue to search for a Premier League win in 2026.
