Manchester United reach the final international break with conflicting emotions after a late 2-2 draw at Tottenham. Matthijs de Ligt’s stoppage-time header rescued a point, extending the unbeaten run to five, yet fresh injuries and unanswered squad questions leave Ruben Amorim wanting more.
Spurs thriller: leads lost and a last-gasp rescue
Bryan Mbeumo put Spurs ahead on 32 minutes before United looked set for revenge for last season’s Europa League final defeat. Mathys Tel levelled late for the hosts, Richarlison struck in the 91st minute, and De Ligt salvaged a draw from a Bruno Fernandes corner in the final seconds.
Fitness concerns mount under Amorim
Harry Maguire limped off and substitute Benjamin Šeško soon followed, leaving United a man down for the closing stages. The setbacks capped a second straight 2-2, after Nottingham Forest, tempering the relief of the result and sharpening Amorim’s focus on squad availability.
Form vs. frustration: where United stand
The unbeaten streak offers stability compared to the previous international window, when Amorim’s future was under scrutiny. Still, back-to-back draws and mounting injuries underscore the fine margins. With key decisions looming across the squad, United enter the break with both progress and problems to solve.
