The Athletic.

So Manchester United swept aside Tottenham at Old Trafford last night.

A quarter of the way through this Premier League season,

what did this performance tell us about Eric Ten Haag's influence on his United side?

What does that result tell us about where Spurs are now,

nearly a year into Antonio Conte's tenure as manager.

And we'll also talk about the unused sub who left the stadium before the final whistle.

Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm Adam Leventile. This is the Athletic Football Podcast.

At one end of Flurry at the other, Bruno Fernandez. Fred! Bruno Fernandez!

What a finish that is! What a further finish! He guides it into the corner! I said 11 players have to correct myself.

It was a performance also from the Sips who came on.

Once again, they did also a good role and once again it was a squad performance.

In only 10 months, 11 months you cannot pass from 9 from 9 plays to become a title contenders.

Every time we played a game, a high-level game, we struggle.

So I'm joined from The Athletic by our Manchester United writer Laurie Whitwell and our Spurs writer Jack Pittbrook.

Laurie, you were at Old Trafford last night.

And I mean, I suppose a good line that you used in your piece that is live on the athletic at the moment is that

Eric Tenhag's players worked in whirring synchronicity to totally dominate Tottenham-Hotspur

and hint at the potential to come. Is it fair to say you were purring after that performance?

I was purring, yes. Well, it's difficult not to when you're in Ultra-Aford when it's alive like that.

And it was the players that started the atmosphere that then spread throughout the stadium

and then fed back into the players.
