Tottenham player ratings vs Man Utd - Johnson, Van de Ven, Kulusevski and Bentancur brilliant

Here are our Tottenham Hotspur player ratings after their dominant victory at Manchester United on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League

Tottenham came away with a 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday in the Premier League and here are our Spurs player ratings from the game.

Ange Postecoglou was forced into one key change from Tottenham's previous Premier League game with Son Heung-min missing out with a hamstring issue and Timo Werner came in to take his place on the left-hand side of the visitors' attack. Spurs arrived in Manchester with three wins to their name in eight days following their last-gasp Carabao Cup victory at Coventry City, followed up by a dominant Premier League win against Brentford and then a 3-0 triumph with 10 men against Qarabag in the Europa League.

Tottenham were ahead within three minutes. Micky van de Ven made a great interception in his own half before embarking on a long run up the pitch and he kept going until the byline where he pulled it across the six-yard box for Brennan Johnson to slam home his fourth goal in four games.

Spurs pummelled the United goal and the home side's day got worse when captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a high lunge on James Maddison.

The visitors doubled their lead just two minutes into the second half. Dominic Solanke showed strength before heading on a ball for Johnson to race down the right flank. The Wales international's cross was deflected up and the unmarked Dejan Kulusevski touched it past Andre Onana.

Postecoglou made a triple change with 15 minutes to go and two of them made an instant impact with another set piece goal as Lucas Bergvall whipped in a great corner, Pape Matar Sarr flicked it on and Solanke slid home his third goal in as many games.

Here are our Tottenham player ratings from the game:

Guglielmo Vicario

Made an important close range first half save from Zirkzee. His handling was excellent throughout even if he didn't have that much to do. 8

Pedro Porro

The Spaniard was superb both in defence in dealing with Garnacho and in getting forward and he should have had a late assist for Solanke. 9

Cristian Romero

Captain in Son's absence, the Argentine sent an acrobatic scissors kick just wide after the half hour mark. He was dominant throughout. 8

Micky van de Ven

Great interception and long run up the pitch to set up Johnson for his early goal. Kept frustrating United with his ability to race back and get the ball back off them. One of the best defenders in the Premier League. 9

Destiny Udogie

Fired over after being picked out by Kulusevski in the box. Went on a good run that ended with Johnson hitting the post before appearing to have an injury with Spence set to come on, only for the Italian to decide he was fine to continue. Had another effort deflected over the crossbar around the half hour mark. Really impressive first half but came off at the break. 8

Dejan Kulusevski

Some lovely early interplay set up chances for Maddison and Udogie. A constant bundle of energy and doubled Spurs' lead early in the second half by touching home Johnson's deflected cross with a clever flick. He's found his groove in the deeper midfield role and Tottenham are benefiting hugely. 9

Rodrigo Bentancur

The Uruguayan was excellent at Old Trafford last season and he repeated the trick this time around. He absolutely bossed the midfield with his calmness on the ball as an outlet for the defence. 9

James Maddison

Played a great one-two 10 minutes in with Kulusevski only to be denied by Onana's shoulder. Was on the receiving end of the lunge that resulted in Fernandes being sent off. Another really good instrumental deeper performance. 8

Brennan Johnson

The fourth consecutive game he's scored in. as he slammed home Van de Ven's low cross. Struck the foot of the post before the 20 minute mark after a swift Spurs break. Put a couple of great low crosses into the box and one was deflected to Kulusevski to touch home. Worked really hard defensively in helping Porro out with Garnacho. He's found his rhythm and his confidence and it's great to see. 9

Dominic Solanke

Another good focal point performance and his strength and header to set Spurs away for their second goal was key. Fully deserved his late sliding goal to make it three goals in three games. Should have had a second goal late on when Onana got a foot to his shot as he ran through. 8

Timo Werner

His first Premier League start of the season and he was bright down the left. However, once again though he had a big chance after being sent clear and Onana saved with his legs. Had another moment before the hour mark when Onana foiled him, although his shot again wasn't particularly convincing. Does so many of the right things and he was good on the whole throughout this display, including working back to defend, but when it comes to the final part at the other end his confidence is shot, as shown with a pitch-long run that ended with him pulling the ball back behind his team-mates. 7

Subs

Djed Spence

Came on for the second half and did a good job down the right in keeping United at bay while getting up the pitch himself. 7

Mikey Moore

A bright cameo and curled a last-gasp effort just wide of the left-hand post. 6

Lucas Bergvall

Whipped in a great corner for Spurs' third goal and sent a shot over in the 86th minute which had Postecoglou telling him he should have passed to Moore. Had the boss screaming at him again for another misplaced pass. 6

Pape Matar Sarr

Great movement to flick on Bergvall's corner across to Solanke to score. Could have netted himself with a header wide from Solanke's saved shot. 7

Radu Dragusin

Replaced Van de Ven for the final minutes. N/A
