Overview
- United have kept one clean sheet in 12 matches and conceded 18 goals, leaving them seventh in the Premier League.
- A 1-1 draw at Tottenham saw Bryan Mbeumo score first before Mathijs de Ligt rescued a point with a 96th-minute header.
- Manuel Ugarte was cited for errors in both Spurs goals, with recent displays also highlighting lapses from Patrick Dorgu, Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro and Casemiro.
- Summer additions Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko have lifted the attack, but shoring up the defence is viewed as the immediate priority.
- Amadou Onana’s sister and agent said they had already committed to Aston Villa before Manchester United entered talks, with United later signing Ugarte from PSG.
