Man United defeated Tottenham on Wednesday but Cristiano Ronaldo's early exit is threatening to overshadow his teammates' excellent performances.

surely the manager would have known before the season started if he was going to play Ronaldo or not, if he wanted him in his team, if he was someone to build around. If that’s the case, he should have let Ronaldo go. "If he doesn’t see Ronaldo as a starter in his team more often than not, I think he has to release him from his contract. He has to let him go. I think the big problem Erik ten Hag has got is that, coming up to this next window, he has to think very carefully about what he does. I think Ronaldo will be absolutely fuming with that, naturally," Ferdinand said on his

Tottenham head to Old Trafford to face Manchester United — follow all the latest updates from the Premier League game.

120 mins to KO: We're here at Old Trafford for a big game in the battle for the top four — and, just maybe, the Premier League title in the case of Spurs. Rashford offers more mobility against the visiting defence, but he was guilty of missing a clear chance to score a late winner against Newcastle — a chance Ronaldo would be expected to score. For Tottenham, Ivan Perisic gets the nod on the left-hand side in what looks like a 5-3-2 set-up. The Brazilian cuts inside on his left foot and curls the ball towards the right-hand upright, which it clips on its way behind for a goal kick. He had a great view just then of a fine crossfield pass from Kane to Doherty, who got into the box but couldn't find the target. The Brazilian squares to Sancho, who lays the ball off to Fred on the edge of the box. Fred tried to turn a loose ball forwards just inside the Spurs box, Dier blocked it back to Fernandes, and he swept a sumptuous first-time finish out of Lloris' reach. Fred, being Fred, launches a counter-attack, loses the ball, then promptly wins it back and gives it to Rashford. 85 mins: Cheers from the home fans as the Spurs contingent try to cheer on their side for a late comeback. Fred then caps a tremendous performance by robbing Kane of the ball, but Rashford is offside as United try to counter. Early in the first half, Conte was yelling and gesturing to his players with practically every kick of the ball, as though moving pieces about a Subbuteo board. He won the ball high up the pitch and was purposeful in possession to keep United attacks moving, helping to give them a balance that hasn’t always been apparent this season.

It was also a performance from the substitutes who came on. It was the most that United have managed in over a decade - since the days of Sir Alex Ferguson. "You can lose this type of game but at the same time we have to show much more," said Conte afterwards. What might worry Spurs supporters is that the flow of the game did not change thereafter, United instead pushing for a second. Asked about Ronaldo's decision to walk down the tunnel before the full-time whistle, Ten Hag said: "I don't pay attention to that, I will deal with that tomorrow. Tottenham's plan for the game was obvious before a ball was kicked. Spurs have now gone the same way as Liverpool and Arsenal at Old Trafford. It took another stunning stop from Lloris to prevent Rashford from making it three. Antony struck the foot of the far post, while Lloris was forced into smart saves to deny Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Luke Shaw. The veteran walked off down the tunnel late in the game having not been brought on as a substitute. Antonio Conte's side needed only a point to move above Manchester City into second but they were outplayed for much of the game. This was surely the best performance by United since Erik ten Hag arrived at the club in the summer.

Manchester United put on a thrilling display to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Old Trafford, led by goals from standout performers Fred and Bruno Fernandes.

Rashford exploded into life from the restart, pummelling a shot at the Spurs stopper once more. Bruno finally got the goal his performance deserved with a wicked curler beyond the diving Lloris. The Frenchman then worked overtime as he stopped a Fernandes free-kick and a cracking Luke Shaw volley from hitting the back of the net. Nineteen attempts at smashing the Spurs door down in the first half, and all it took was one nudge in the second. United racked up an incredible 14 shots inside a frantic 30 minutes that saw Bruno and Fred bound forwards to support Rashford down the middle. The Brazilian curled a shot off Lloris’s left post, whipping up the crowd in the process.

Ten Hag's side had 28 shots in the match, the most by a team in a Premier League game this season. You need to be ready to fight a war, or you die against your opponent. [Bruno Fernandes](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/124091/Bruno-Fernandes) then made the lead secure with just over 20 minutes remaining after curling a delightful first-time shot past [Hugo Lloris](http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/43372/Hugo-Lloris) from just inside the penalty area. "They started the game very well. The ball fell kindly for Fernandes, who gave Lloris no chance with a classy pinpoint finish. They stay in fifth place in the Premier League but are now just a point behind fourth-placed [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363). It was Rashford, starting in place of Ronaldo, who had the clearest opportunity. And just a minute later, Man United's lead was doubled. "I think it was the best team performance this season.
