da betcris: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s 100 per cent start to life as interim Manchester United manager continued on Sunday as he saw his side beat Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium.
The Red Devils have the heroics of David De Gea between the sticks to thank for preserving their clean sheet as United had to survive a second half onslaught from Spurs.
United took the lead in the first half as Marcus Rashford latched onto a wonderful Paul Pogba through ball and finished beyond Hugo Lloris.

Rashford will be delighted to have made the decisive contribution having been entrusted to lead the line ahead of Romelu Lukaku.
As well as the goal, the 21-year-old’s all round game was good too, and his pace on the break was a constant looming threat the Spurs defence had to be mindful of.
On the ball, the 31-cap England international recorded a very impressive pass accuracy rating of 88%, and he combined well with his fellow attackers to keep United moving forward in a dynamic fashion. He was also very involved, considering his position on the pitch and the pressure his team were under, making 38 touches.
However, his hold up play left something to be desired, as he committed six unsuccessful touches, which his team could have been punished for.
In front of goal, the striker was confident and ruthless. In a game where few chances fell his way, Rashford still mustered three shots, and of course scored the all important goal. In big games, taking chances is vital, and Rashford showed he has the composure and courage to do so.
All in all, the United academy graduate justified his selection ahead of the 25 year-old Lukaku and both he and Solskjaer deserve credit for that. The Belgian international may now find his place in the starting XI very hard to win back.
