Manchester United are within touching distance of the Champions League places after their win over Antonio Conte's Tottenham at Old Trafford. A match that saw a great performance from opposing French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who was a great opponent with a deflection, Fred scored, and then Bruno Fernandes scored a great goal past the keeper.
Although in the first half it looked like the game was going to be difficult, they were able to show in the second half that they had the superiority, had it not been for Hugo Lloris this game would have ended with more goals, the Red Devils defence responded very well in their coverage of the Tottenham strikers, they were nullified by the team who were motivated in the second half.
Erik ten Hag already knew that Eriksen was going to be Man Utd's most important player

Erik ten Hag continued with the approach that generated doubts, despite that situation he kept with the same position, it was a good decision at the end of the game, since, that gave him the victory, faithful to the style of the Dutch coach he did not make modifications in the match, he only substituted Antony who has not had good games in the last appearances he has had.
The Red Devils confirmed that they must stick to the decisions made by Erik ten Hag, even if you can doubt his approach, he showed that the team plays well without the Portuguese star, he left him on the bench, but now if they could achieve a resounding victory by the team, it was a result that gives a lot of confidence to the Old Trafford club.
The Portuguese star stayed on the bench for the whole game to watch his team react and perform well, it was a very good performance to get the three points. Cristiano will be upset not to be involved in this crucial match that was won to continue to aspire to be contenders, they want to return to the elite of world football.
