At Old Trafford on Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur turned in a season-best performance, defeating a visibly embarrassed Manchester United by a score of three goals to zero.
Following Bruno Fernandes‘ marching orders late in the first half, United was reduced to 10 men. Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke secured the statement victory.
Here are Tottenham’s top performers from the victory, as determined by 90min’s renowned player ratings.
Top Tottenham player vs Manchester United
Micky van de Ven: 9/10
Even though he was a center-back, Micky Van de Ven sprinted 75 yards with the ball and found Johnson with a lovely cross to help Spurs take an early lead.
Van van Ven was excellent the entire game, completing an astounding 97% of his passes. That truly all-time display of center defense play would have been enough to win him player of the match.
Dejan Kulusevski
Dejan Kulusevski: 9/10
You can tell a team played really well when a player with a rating of 9/10 is only given “honourable mention.”
Kulusevski’s run of strong performances continued on Sunday, making him unquestionably Tottenham’s most in-form player of the 2024–25 campaign thus far.
At Old Trafford, the Swede was at the peak of his game. He set up a staggering nine chances for his teammates and finished the half with a well-executed goal.

Brennan Johnson: 9/10
The Welsh winger, who has been playing like a beast lately, broke the deadlock early and put Spurs ahead with his fourth goal in four games.
In addition to that goal, Johnson’s constant rushing in behind caused a ton of difficulties for United’s defense. One of those deft moves set up Kulusevski for the game’s second goal.
