Jornal Do Brasilia - 10-man Tottenham strike back to hold Man Utd

Solanke's stoppage time header edged Spurs off the foot of the Premier League table after it seemed like they would pay a heavy price for not taking their chances in a dominant display at Old Trafford.

Bryan Mbeumo put United in front against the run of play 17 minutes from time before Rodrigo Bentancur was shown a straight red card.

But not for the first time this season, Carrick's men failed to make a man advantage count.

Manchester City won 1-0 at Old Trafford last month despite playing for more than an hour with 10 men.

Solanke stooped to head in Sandro Tonali's cross to leave United with just six points from their opening six league games.

Tottenham had three weeks to fester on dropping to the bottom of the table during the international break after a disastrous start to their £300 million ($397 million) rebuild in the transfer window.

Roberto De Zerbi's men took until the closing stages of their fifth league game to even score a goal and a much improved performance was undone by a familiar lack of cutting edge up front.

Before kick-off, the United supporters took aim at local rivals City, who have been found guilty on more than 100 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules.

But the home fans soon had their own troubles to concentrate on as Spurs penned United inside their own half.

Solanke should have opened the scoring when he fired too close to Senne Lammens before Mohammed Kudus blasted wide at the end of a flowing Tottenham move.

Chances continued to come and go for the visitors after the break, much to the frustration of a visibly animated De Zerbi.

Solanke spooned over and Destiny Udogie curled wide before the game appeared to run away from Spurs.

Carrick helped turn the tide with a triple substitution on the hour mark.

Carlos Baleba added more dynamism to United's midfield on his first appearance since a £70 million move from Brighton, while the introduction of Joshua Zirkzee allowed Matheus Cunha to drop into a deeper role.

United had barely threatened Antonin Kinsky's goal until Mbeumo was afforded too much room to spin onto Cunha's pass and fire into the far corner.

To compound Tottenham's woes, Bentancur was then shown a straight red card for a headbutt on Luke Shaw after an angry confrontation between the pair.

But United again failed make their man advantage count.

Solanke finally ended Tottenham's wait since May for an away goal when he outmuscled Lisandro Martinez to glance in Tonali's cross.

The point edges Spurs up to 18th with only goals scored keeping them inside the relegation zone.

United are just three points better off in 12th.
