Ten Hag and United always come up with a miraculous back against the wall defensive performance, when he is going to het fired. Though, one defensive performance shouldn’t mask for abject failure after spending 600 million on players

No obvious sign of emotion from Sir Jim Ratcliffe or any of the Manchester United executive team at the final whistle.
Chief executive Omar Berrada spoke to sporting director Dan Ashworth for a short while but that was about it.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe left his seat at the match ended.
The Manchester United fans gave Ruud van Nistelrooy a cheer as he walked across to shake the hands of the players.
United are now 14th. They have not won for five games (but only lost once). Is it good enough?
Brighton v Tottenham (16:30 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesTottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says Brighton counterpart Fabian Hurzeler "made a real impression on everyone" when he visited the Spurs training ground last year.
"He spent a day with us," Postecoglou explained. "He asked a lot of questions and I gave him too many answers, for sure.
"I actually palmed him off at one stage because he was asking too many. I passed him to the other coaches.
"He was inquisitive about everything. He was already a senior manager, doing a good job, and the fact that he still wanted to ask questions - he made a real impression on everyone."
We'll keep rolling with reaction to the two 14:00 BST games but it is also time to start building up to Brighton versus Tottenham, which kicks off in just under 30 minutes.

Erik ten Hag goes over to applaud the Manchester United travelling support. They applaud him back as Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran is boomed over the loudspeakers.
Chelsea 1-1 Nottm Forest
All over - a game all about the goalkeepers. It could have finished 3-3 but for some fantastic saves.

United are so dull to watch. No identity and it appears as though the players have no freedom to express themselves. How much time is ETH going to get before something is done. Yes he has won two trophies, but in terms of challenging for the league, United are further away than when he took over.

Another amazing save! Robert Sanchez somehow keeps out Jota Silva's header.
The two goalkeepers have been fantastic in this game.

Murillo's strike from the free-kick is deflected and Nottingham Forest have a corner...
Chelsea 1-1 Nottm Forest
Wesley Fofana is booked for a foul on Jota Silva.
Nottingham Forest have a free-kick midway inside the Chelsea half and probably one final chance to maybe steal the three points.

A match that won't live long in the memory. Manchester United came closest when Bruno Fernandes hit the bar.

Was that the final chance? Ollie Watkins has time in the Manchester United box but dinks his cross straight out of play.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
No idea when this match will end after all those earlier technical issues. Manchester United are throwing bodies forward.
Chelsea 1-1 Nottm Forest
There's still five minutes to go in this one, plenty of time for someone to snatch a winner.

That sums up Man Utd for the season. Garanacho has to pick the pass to Bruno Fernandes.

This is where Villas season may come unstuck, their inability to finish off teams around the relegation zone.

On the counter for United it's three against one but Alejandro Garnacho's pass is intercepted by Matty Cash. A huge waste!
Ross Barkley is then booked for a trip off the ball on Casemiro.
Aston Villa 0-0 Man Utd
HUGE CHANCE FOR VILLA!
Morgan Rogers drills the ball across goal, Matthijs de Ligt misses it, and it all opens up for Jaden Philogene at the back post who has to score but fires his effort against Diogo Dalot. Worth a goal that block.

Having lost consecutive Premier League home games against Tottenham without scoring in 2021-22 and 2022-23, Brighton won this exact fixture 4-2 last season.
Just one of the 14 Premier League meetings between Brighton and Tottenham has finished as a draw (1-1 in April 2018), with Spurs winning nine to the Seagulls’ four.
Brighton and Hove Albion have drawn their last two home Premier League matches, last drawing three in a row in November 2023. Indeed, since the start of last season, no side has drawn more home games than Brighton (8).
Tottenham Hotspur have won their last two Premier League games, last winning three in a row in December last year. Spurs have netted three goals in each victory (3-1 vs Brentford, 3-0 vs Man Utd), last winning three consecutively while scoring 3+ goals in April 2022.
Brighton won six of their first 10 Premier League games in October (D2 L2) between 2017 and 2019 but have since won just one out of 16 October games since 2020 (D9 L6), a 4-1 win over Chelsea in 2022.
Only Manchester City (115) have had more shots in the Premier League than Tottenham Hotspur (110), while Spurs have had the most shots on target of any side (45). It’s the most shots on target Spurs have had in their opening six games of a season on record since 2003-04.
Brighton have had 61.5% possession in the Premier League this season, their highest average in a single campaign in the competition. Meanwhile, only Southampton’s Jan Bednarek (520) has completed more passes than Brighton central defender Lewis Dunk in 2024-25 (510).
Dejan Kulusevski created nine chances for Tottenham in their 3-0 win over Manchester United, the joint most by a Spurs player in a Premier League game on record since 2003-04; the only other player to do so for Spurs was Christian Eriksen in 2013 vs Newcastle and 2016 vs Crystal Palace.
After not scoring or assisting in any of his first 31 Premier League appearances, Brighton’s Carlos Baleba scored and assisted in their 4-2 defeat to Chelsea. He is the youngest Cameroonian to both score and assist in a Premier League match (20 years, 269 days).
Since the start of last season, the only Englishmen with more Premier League goals than Dominic Solanke (21) are Cole Palmer (28) and Ollie Watkins (23). The Spurs forward is looking to find the net in three consecutive appearances for the first time since December 2023.
