da bet esporte: The striker looked out of ideas and missed a sitter as Erik ten Hag's side fell apart in a nightmare first away game of the 2023-24 campaign
da doce: Manchester United had a strong sense of deja-vu in their first away trip of the season as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham after a particularly shoddy second-half display.
Marcus Rashford was desperately disappointing, missing the target with a free header but above all failing to trouble Tottenham's defenders as he again looked out of place at centre-forward.
United began the game brightly and had a strong penalty appeal for handball turned down, while Bruno Fernandes also spurned a free header. Spurs dominated the second period though, and took the lead when Pape Matar Sarr pounced in the area before a Lisandro Martinez own goal doubled their advantage and summed up United's miserable performance.
GOAL rates Man Utd's players from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (6/10):
Took calculated risks on the ball and played some smart long-range passes. Made a good reaction save to thwart Destiny Udogie after the goal, which he could do little about.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (5/10):
Looked solid for the opening 45 minutes then things took a downward turn and he was hooked for Diogo Dalot.
Raphael Varane (6/10):
One of the few players who did not play with lead in their feet.
Lisandro Martinez (3/10):
Some good early interventions were overshadowed by his mishaps for both goals. A weak block sent the ball to Pape Sarr for the first, then another sent it trickling into his own net.
Luke Shaw (5/10):
Left his left flank unguarded for the first goal. At least showed some character and tried to spark a response from his side.

Bruno Fernandes (5/10):
Decent in the first half but missed the biggest chance of the game, somehow sending his free header over the bar.
Casemiro (5/10):
Struggled to impose himself on the game and lost the battle with Yves Bissouma.
Mason Mount(5/10):
Was good defensively in the first half and pressed aggressively while also linking up well with Alejandro Garnacho and Antony. Like his team-mates, faded after half-time.

Antony (5/10):
Worked hard in the first half and was close to equalising in the second when his shot clattered the bar. Removed after 66 minutes.
Marcus Rashford (4/10):
Headed a clear chance over the bar after a fine pass from Fernandes. Struggled once more playing up top by himself. Had a strop on the bench after being substituted.
Alejandro Garnacho (5/10):
Had a couple of bright moments in the first half but soon faded. Poor defensively for the goal.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Christian Eriksen (5/10):
Unlike against Wolves, he could do little to stop the rot.
Jadon Sancho (6/10)
An upgrade on Garnacho and should have started in his place.
Diogo Dalot (5/A):
Could have done more to prevent the second goal.
Anthony Martial (N/A):
Only came on in the 85th minute.
Facundo Pellistri (N/A):
Didn't have enough time to make an impact.
Erik ten Hag (4/10):
Played the same starting XI that had performed poorly against Wolves and his many substitutions failed to turn things around.
