VAR denies Man Utd two goals against ten-man Spurs.
Manchester United hold the advantage over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, with head coach Michael Carrick eyeing a fourth straight win. Bryan Mbeumo struck early as Spurs, reduced to ten men, found themselves under sustained pressure. Guglielmo Vicario kept the visitors alive with a series of sharp saves, while VAR ruled out two United goals after the break, including an effort from Matheus Cunha. Tottenham arrived without a league win in six, hoping the Munich anniversary weekend sparks a turnaround.
