Late De Ligt header saves United

United fight back at Tottenham as Amorim laments comfort and De Ligt seals late draw

Ruben Amorim said Tottenham have many problems and are only at the start.

However, he argued United were too comfortable despite the late drama.

Matthijs de Ligt’s 96th minute header gave United a five game unbeaten run.

United controlled large portions after Bryan Mbeumo struck early for Spurs.

Mbeumo’s goal came in the first half to put Tottenham ahead.

Mathys Tel and Richarlison answered for Tottenham with excellent finishing.

The late equaliser denied Spurs a deserved win on home soil.

Amorim defended his substitutions after jeers from the crowd.

Nevertheless, he said the fans had a right to vent but that balance mattered most.

The result leaves United five games unbeaten in a volatile spell.

Tottenham will regroup ahead of their next Premier League test.

Ultimately, both managers will be seeking sharper focus in the weeks ahead.
