LONDON -- There was only a short handshake between the managers at the end of Manchester United's 3-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, but by that point, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had already passed the baton to Nuno Espirito Santo as embattled boss of the Premier League's crisis club.
Thousands of Tottenham supporters had already left, but many who stayed did so mainly to boo Nuno off the pitch as his opposite number strode across the turf to the section of United fans, who had been singing Solskjaer's name for most of the second half as their club ended a difficult week with a much-needed victory.
