Manchester United stumbled yet again in the Premier League, suffering their 12th defeat in 25 matches and falling 15 points behind the Champions League spots—a season in crisis. Despite facing a Tottenham side that had only picked up 8 points in their last 12 games, the Red Devils showed a worrying lack of sharpness and ended up losing 1-0 thanks to a goal from James Maddison.

Even with Casemiro back in the starting XI, United couldn’t turn things around. They had a golden triple chance in the 10th minute, but Vicario and Ben Davies denied them. Moments later, a poor clearance from Onana after a shot by Bergvall gifted the ball to Maddison, who buried the only goal of the match.

A Manchester United Without Answers

United had no answers up front, with Zirkzee and Højlund trying their luck but failing to find the net. Garnacho had a golden opportunity but couldn’t convert, while Tottenham managed their lead comfortably and even came close to doubling it through Mathys Tel.

With this result, Manchester United remains lost and drifts further away from European spots. The pressure is piling up, while Tottenham capitalizes on their struggles to grab three crucial points in their chase for season objectives.
