Manchester United suffered a disappointing 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Red Devils conceded the opening goal in the third minute after a poor piece of defending from multiple players.
Bruno Fernandes was sent off before half-time, and Spurs ended up with a resounding 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
Rio Ferdinand singled out Andre Onana for praise after the game. The goalkeeper made seven key saves against Spurs.
Alejandro Garnacho was the second-best player for United after a hardworking performance.
The Argentine got the nod over Amad Diallo in the starting line-up and he almost scored a first-half equaliser for United.
Garnacho unleashed a powerful strike from a narrow angle, but he was unfortunate as his effort rattled the woodwork.
The £38 million-rated star caught the eye after the break with his willingness to track back. He also made good attacking runs.
It did not change the result, but the United graduate can hold his head high after a tireless showing on Sunday.
Garnacho had four attempts on goal with three duels won. He had 50 touches with two recoveries and one tackle.
With yesterday’s result, United have dropped to 12th in the league standings. They have picked up only seven points.
The Red Devils are already six points adrift of the top four and face another difficult challenge at Aston Villa this weekend.
Prior to that, the club have another challenging trip to Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Erik ten Hag will likely make changes to the starting XI and Diogo Dalot could be one of those dropped after a dismal performance.
