Luke Shaw Man United's sole bright spot in otherwise dim defeat to Spurs

Where do Manchester United go from here? There were good signs, but they were sadly far outweighed by the bad.

In some ways, this 3-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur -- their second in two games in the Premier League -- was more dispiriting than their defeat to Brighton. Against Brighton, they showed a lack of intensity throughout; here, spurred on by six changes to their starting eleven, they nevertheless succumbed to a counter-attacking performance of the most ruthless efficiency. The start of the performance was far more positive, which is what made the closing stages all the more disappointing.
