Phil Jones is set to hand Jose Mourinho yet another defensive injury blow.

The 26-year-old came off just after the restart with a suspected hamstring injury.

Jones and Chris Smalling replaced Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly from United’s defeat at Brighton.

However, Mourinho will be hoping that Bailly will be ready to return to action next Sunday at Burnley with Jones potentially set to miss the game.

Full-Time: Manchester United 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur recorded their first win at Old Trafford since 2014 in emphatic fashion.

Three second-half goals, including a Lucas Moura brace and a Harry Kane header, gave the North London club their third win from three this season.

Kane netted his first goal at Old Trafford with a thumping header from a corner five minutes after the restart.

Lucas then doubled Spurs’ lead less than two minutes later leaving Jose Mourinho’s side in disarray.

The Brazilain rounded off the victory after bursting through United’s defence and lashing the ball past David De Gea.

Tottenham join Chelsea, Watford and Liverpool on nine points after three games.
