Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring not long after the Spurs were reduced to ten men, while Bruno Fernandes sealed the deal in the 81st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game was actually tight before Cristian Romero&#8217;s sending off 28 minutes in. After that, however, it was basically all United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Since making his Tottenham debut in August 2021, Cristian Romero has been sent off six times in all competitions, more than any other Premier League player during that time. <br><br>He joins Younes Kaboul as the only player to be sent off four times for Tottenham in the PL.? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sXyYaT2s5o\">pic.twitter.com\/sXyYaT2s5o<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/2020122446808981703?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 7, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Man United-Tottenham stats<\/th><th>Before red card (0&#8242;-28&#8242;)<\/th><th>After red card (28&#8242;-90&#8242;)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Possession<\/td><td>53% &#8211; 47%<\/td><td>71% &#8211; 29%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shots (on target)<\/td><td>7 (1) &#8211; 5 (1)<\/td><td>16 (9) &#8211; 2 (0)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Final third entries<\/td><td>17 &#8211; 15<\/td><td>60 &#8211; 23<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it was 11v11, both teams accepted the opposition&#8217;s &#8216;turn&#8217; to dominate the ball. The Red Devils had 76% in the first 10 minutes, while the guests dominated the following 10 minutes with 83% possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And despite the balance in play, Man United looked more dangerous in their advances. The very first play of the game was a fast break that ended in an Mbeumo shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrick&#8217;s men looked like they were going to keep the tendency of playing a more direct style. But even before Romero&#8217;s red card, showed a lot more patience than in the previous three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former midfielder actually named an unchanged starting XI compared to the win over Fulham last week. He has now already kept the same team in consecutive matches more often in his short tenure than Ruben Amorim in his whole stint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is the second time Michael Carrick has named an unchanged XI across his four Premier League games since his return to Man Utd, more than Ruben Amorim did in 47 games in charge (1). ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6AYGWYV7Oq\">https:\/\/t.co\/6AYGWYV7Oq<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka Dugout (@SquawkaDugout) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SquawkaDugout\/status\/2020103911764295964?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 7, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Thomas Frank performed a few tweaks. Joao Palhinha went back to midfield after spending two games as a right-centre-back in a back-three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 4-3-3 in possession became a 4-4-2 out of possession due to Conor Gallagher&#8217;s work rate and energy. It&#8217;s a promising look that can bear fruit going forward and make them recover the ball quicker than usual and bother the opposition. When Romero was sent off, however, the new signing went to right midfield to cover for Wilson Odobert, who left the game for Radu Dragusin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1432084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-267x267.jpg 267w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226-40x40.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/07145911\/ManUtdTottenhamPassNtwk070226.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It often felt like they had too many men surrounding the ball and leaving space elsewhere. That&#8217;s how Mbeumo broke through just 30 seconds into the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of Tottenham&#8217;s defensive strategy, it&#8217;s still a work in progress. Gallagher alone can probably make it better, but it will take time. As for the rest of the team, the fact that their press is still uncoordinated is a testament to how poor of a job Thomas Frank has done so far. But there seems to be hope that he turns around once he has most of the players available for selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This problem also manifested in other ways. Their man-oriented marking had everyone but the centre-backs chasing their men for long distances. When it wasn&#8217;t Bruno Fernandes finding pockets behind Spurs&#8217; midfield line that jumped up, Mbeumo dropped deep without Romero or Micky van de Ven on his back.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

They have adopted a more direct style this season and Carrick hasn&#8217;t really messed with this dynamic so far. Of course, facing Manchester City and Arsenal straight away makes it easier to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we might be transitioning a little bit more to his preferred style that he showed at Middlesbrough. Shorter passing, dominating actions and establishing the whole team in the attacking half with more patience and cadence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that is going to be the case, the early signs indicate that they will be just fine doing that. Tottenham don&#8217;t impose the most solid press to break, but the overall quality in the United squad is just too much for it not to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their first goal is great proof of that. A slick set-piece move straight off the training ground with quick and smart short passes finished off beautifully by Mbeumo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now they start to drift into an easier part of the schedule. Up next are West Ham and Everton away, followed by Crystal Palace at home.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cristian Romero&#8217;s red card unlocked the game for Manchester United, who didn&#8217;t take long to pounce and score the winner.
