What were the highlights of Manchester United's win over Tottenham?

Paul Pogba 0:07
Pogba. It's a threatening ball to Rashford.
Patrick Davison 0:12
And Rashford fires it across Lloris and into the net and sends Manchester United into the lead. And that was enough to win it for Manchester United, but it only tells half the story because in the second half, Spurs were brilliant and David De Gea was even better. Simply unbeatable. More saves in the second half than any keepers made in an entire game this season. De Gea and Rashford with Patrick Davison.
David Jones 0:36
Guys, well done. None of them have been bad, but was that the best day yet under this manager?
Graeme Souness 0:42
I think definitely the most difficult. This is the hardest we've had to work for a result. But, you know, we put in a lot of work today. The second half was more difficult than the first half, but it doesn't matter now that we got the three points. So we go home now and prepare for the next game.
David Jones 0:58
David, when all your teammates come to you at full time, do you know you've had a good day?

How did David De Gea's performance impact the game?

David De Gea 1:03
Yeah, especially because we won the game against a top team like Tottenham. I think we just have to win. We controlled the first half, but the second day they put a lot of pressure. They had chances, but we defended well and we have the three points.
David Jones 1:20
Eleven saves in the second half, no other keeper has made that in an entire match. Do you get to the point where you start to feel unbeatable?
David De Gea 1:28
Well, I was feeling very well with the first two saves. But, yeah, it was a great game, especially, like I said, for the three points in that pitch at Wembley, with the fans, a great game, so very, very happy. From the XI, can you pick a favourite, can you pick a best save? No, I don't even remember some of them, so I'm happy with everything. No post.
Graeme Souness 1:48
It was his fault. He's bailed you out, hasn't he, Marcus? I see.
David Jones 1:55
Just tell us about the plan today because it seemed it was obviously a different game to the others you've had under this manager and the plan seemed different.

What tactical changes did Manchester United implement against Tottenham?

Graeme Souness 2:02
Yeah, we played a slightly different system but against a team like this it was needed because the other teams that we've played have played pretty much the same system so today was a different game and we prepared different for it and the tactics changed but this is what we have to do to beat the top teams, we have to adapt and we keep pushing and keep improving.
David Jones 2:22
Gary Neville said in commentary that you're the man now, maybe for the first time under this manager, you're the go-to guy for goals. Are you enjoying that?
Graeme Souness 2:31
I think it's a good responsibility, but I think since this manager's come in, everyone's chipped in. To date, it wasn't about the goals, it was about the keeper today and the amount of saves that he's made is tremendous, but we know that we have that at the back with David.
David Jones 2:46
David, you obviously are going to get a lot of the credit for today, but how much credit would you give the manager? How much difference has he made?
David De Gea 2:53
He brings me some happiness. I think the players are playing very well. The team is strong now, very strong. I think we know how to control the games, how to keep the ball, how to create chances. And that's very good for us. This is the real Manchester United.
David Jones 3:09
Marcus, I don't think you're going to mind handing this over. The Premier League man of the match, David de Gea.

What was Paul Pogba's role in the victory?

David Jones 3:15
Lovely little handshake as well.
Patrick Davison 3:16
Thank you. Well done, boys. Less elaborate than the Spurs handshakes, but effective all the same. Perhaps remarkable that when you see David de Gea in that kind of form, only his third clean sheet of the season, but maybe he hasn't been in that kind of form all season. How do you sum that up, Graham, when you see Manchester United winning for the sixth game in a row, but then you see a goalkeeper... being that inspired to get them over the line well everybody said this was a acid test for him and it was in the first half they were polished you know they looked apart you know on sitting deep defending well and then catching spurs on the break in the second half that's a very different team they're holding on by the skin of their teeth and if it wasn't for him
Patrick Davison 3:57
De Gea, they lose this game.
