Summary

#793 | Defeat to Spurs for the third time this season. This one hit a little different, with an injury crisis prompting United to start the game with eight teenagers on the bench. Not that Ruben Amorim was tempted to use the kids for long - Chido Obi enjoying about three minutes at the end of another disappointing game. This was a poor quality game, a ninth defeat for Amorim, leaving United in 15th place. FIFTEENTH PLACE.
