Manchester United 3-2 Tottenham: The Red Devils came out on top of a rollercoaster encounter with Cristiano Ronaldo rolling back the years to score a ...

There was a time when trailing Manchester United at Old Trafford was one of the most daunting tasks in world football. There has been speculation that Rashford could seek a summer exit if he continues to see his game time limited, however, he needs to provide a lot more when he is given a chance in order to convince the interim boss. There were similarities with their pursuit of the veteran passer to the way in which they brought Ronaldo back to Old Trafford at the start of this season. There may be questions over his role in the long-term, but in the here and now, United remain a more dangerous team when the Portuguese superstar is in the lineup. But like so many times in his remarkable career, Ronaldo wasn't to be denied, completing his treble in the 82nd minute with a thumping header. However, United retreated deeper and deeper, unable to keep hold of possession and allowing the visitors to grow in confidence and with 20 minutes to go they were level for the second time when Sergio Reguilon's cross was turned into his own net by Harry Maguire

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brilliant hat-trick for Man Utd as they beat Tottenham 3-2 in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

Illness on Friday did account for Fernandes' presence in the side, however, and it can't have been an ideal build-up for United ahead of what was their most important game of the season. It can be a game of fine margins and had United managed to get Lindelof on one phase of play earlier they would almost certainly not have conceded in that manner. This is the level needed for the final nine games of the season, in terms of performance and mentality. Victor Lindelof was stripped and ready to come on at Old Trafford for around three minutes with United still leading 2-1, but the ball wouldn't go out of play and the change couldn't be made. Unable to get Lindelof on the pitch, Rangnick had to watch on as one of them - Reguilon - created an equaliser. On a day when Bruno Fernandes was absent it was good to see a Brazilian midfielder showing he can help fill that creativity gap that the Portuguese leaves behind.

Football365 - Ronaldo said the victory over Spurs proves Man United "can beat any team"...

“I remember very well also in the Champions League group he was decisive for them to go through to the next round. We are talking about a player who is decisive and in that moment the team needed him, he’s always present. That’s why I decided after that training session, although he had been out for a week, to play him from the start.

All our goals in the 3-2 victory came from the magnificent Cristiano Ronaldo, who bagged his first Premier League hat-trick since 2008. Ronaldo slammed in an ...

An equaliser did arrive when Alex Telles was penalised for handball, and Harry Kane stepped up to beat David De Gea from the penalty spot. Sergio Reguilon's left-wing cross was diverted in by the United captain with an offside Cristian Romero lurking behind him. We asked for your vote for Manchester United's Man of the Match against Tottenham and the result was predictably unanimous.

Cristiano Ronaldo set another goalscoring record in a return to form with a hat-trick to keep Manchester United's chances of playing in the Champions League ...

The United number seven rose highest to meet Telles' corner nine minutes from time to power a header into the top corner for just his second United hat-trick and first since returning to Old Trafford in August. Spurs quickly had the ball in the net in response only for Ben Davies to be flagged offside before Eric Dier's header from a corner was cleared off the line. It took just 12 minutes for Ronaldo to make his mark with a stunning strike into the top corner from outside the box.

We want the top four and they were opponents who are looking for the top four also. We know we need to improve if we want to reach the level we need to be competitive for the top places.” In the second half we didn’t get the nice passing, and the movement I think wasn’t there. We have many young players in the team and hopefully after this game, they have the possibility to learn. The second goal is from a cross and we could have defended it a bit better. But in football you always get what you deserve and we now need to focus on next week. It was necessary, we had to win the game and it will give us a boost for our next game." “We had a good game, but we have to show more experience to manage certain situations. He was part of the whole team when we had to defend, because we had to defend a lot. It was not just the three goals today it was also he was part of the team when they were in possession of the ball. Without Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United it would have been difficult not just to win but also to draw the game." I think on the pitch the improvements are very clear because the team played in my opinion really good football and created chances to score.

Hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo fired Man United to a vital 3-2 victory in a breathless Premier League clash with top-four rivals Spurs.

“His training session was so good on Thursday that I decided to start him and not bring him from the bench. “In the second-half we didn’t get the nice passing, and the movement I think wasn’t there. “His training session was so good on Thursday that I decided to start him and not bring him from the bench. “Nothing beats the feeling of being back on the pitch and help the team with goals and effort.

He is also growing frustrated by the huge turnover of players he has to deal with because of Ajax’s policy of selling top talent at the right price - and the constant challenge of having to rebuild his team.

MANCHESTER UNITED could make Erik ten Hag their next permanent manager.

Nonetheless Ten Hag has won two domestic doubles in his two other full campaigns with the capital club. Ten Hag has built a reputation as one of Europe's best tactical thinkers in his four years with Ajax, whom he has led to two Eredivisie titles. Rangnick recently said of United's managerial search: "So far, we've not spoken about that. And if the club's board follow his recommendations, it will be Ten Hag with whom Rangnick is working next season to get United back to the top of the Premier League.MORE PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS... And the Mirror add that Ten Hag is willing to step away from his Ajax comfort zone to test himself out at Old Trafford next season.

CRISTIANO RONALDO silenced his critics on Saturday with a mesmerising performance as Manchester United beat Tottenham 3-2.

He's had plenty of critics this season but there's still no denying his ability to step up on the big stage when it matters most. Made up for it with a sublime delivery for Ronaldo's hat-trick. Alex Telles - 6 Often found himself in plenty of space going forward with Sergio Reguilon caught further up the pitch. Diogo Dalot - 6 Express Sport provides a full rundown of the United player ratings.

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo fired in a superb hat-trick to give his side a valuable 3-2 win over Tottenham.

Nemanja Matic put Sancho behind Spurs’ backline and he cut across for Ronaldo to direct past Lloris as the visitors appealed for offside. Ronaldo, who had seen another snapshot saved, jinked away from Romero and leapt above Matt Doherty to meet a Telles corner with a thundering header in front of the Stretford End. Reguilon cut out a Sancho cross on a swift United break and Son directed wide at the other end from a smart Kulusevski pass. There was a guttural roar at the end of a match that was played in an intense, helter-skelter fashion from the outset. The hosts were staring down the barrel of an unwanted draw following Harry Maguire’s own goal, only for the 37-year-old to rise highest to head home a corner and send Old Trafford wild. United did not disappoint as star turn Ronaldo returned from injury with a bang, striking home superbly from 25 yards and adding another after Harry Kane had levelled from the spot.

The records might be a little hazy, but Ronaldo officially surpassed Josef Bican as the leading goalscorer in men's football history with his hat-trick ...

- Romero – 6 - Doherty – 6 Still, it fell to Ronaldo to rescue Rangnick with three very different goals. Yet the scores were level for just three minutes, before Ronaldo struck again. It had won United the game and for once, he did not feel as if his individual brilliance were undermined by fighting a losing battle. Cristiano Ronaldo, stopping the ball dead 30 yards from goal, will have had fleeting visions of Porto 2009.

Plus: Meaningful momentum continues to elude Antonio Conte as Tottenham follow up their 5-0 thrashing of Everton with a disappointing defeat at Old Trafford ...

The capitulation at the start of the second half against Chelsea last week lost them that game and a late implosion lost them this one, with Christian Eriksen afforded far too much time to cross with his left for the first before Nathan Collins' red card foul for the penalty. Moments later, Eriksen set the striker on his way to win the spot-kick for the second. With Eriksen's quality carving out opportunities, there's a good chance he'll add to that tally of 11 Premier League goals this season. But they also have a couple of individual talents who may just be inspiring them to another season in the Premier League. With five minutes of normal time remaining, they were moving out of the relegation zone. There were signs of the growing understanding between Dejan Kulusevski and Matt Doherty on the right wing. That was not an issue at Old Trafford, the game was just taken away from them in key moments. Reports that Ralf Rangnick believes Ronaldo is on the wane and not the man to lead the line for United next season surfaced this week. You'd have been hard pushed to find a single soul who thought the arrival of Luis Diaz would push even Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah into the shade. Meaningful momentum continues to elude Antonio Conte. After their 5-0 win over Everton on Monday, it was another defeat for his Tottenham team. To get in there with his head, it was really brave. Could he be the man to save their season?

MANCHESTER UNITED clinched a narrow win over Tottenham to boost their chances of finishing in the top four.

Conte relies on his wing-backs having the energy and willingness to be full of running down the flanks. It was no surprise to see the visitors blunted in attack. But Ronaldo's late winner undid all of their hard work in the second half. But at Old Trafford, Spurs struggled to get Sergio Reguilon and Matt Doherty involved in the first half. Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero for Manchester United after his hat-trick inspired Ralf Rangnick's side to a crucial 3-2 win over Tottenham to boost their chances of finishing in the top four. But at the same time, there is no end in sight of his individual errors costing United crucial points. From the left, he led United’s counter-attacks with direct runs in behind. Nearly 13 years later, the Portuguese produced an eerily similar strike against Tottenham that proved the 37-year-old has some magic left in his wand of a right foot. It was a moment Ronaldo desperately needed. Hugo Lloris flung himself at it but had no real chance of keeping it out. Harry Maguire cannot catch a break. Sancho sprung the offside trap, unselfishly squared it for Ronaldo who was never missing from six yards out.

Ralf Rangnick praised the reaction from his side as the Reds overcame top-four rivals Spurs to record a 3-2 win.

Cristiano Ronaldo was Manchester United's star man in their 3-2 win over Tottenham on Saturday night.

While we are in awe of Ronaldo’s achievements, the Old Trafford faithful were also on their feet after the match giving their forward a simply spine-tingling reception as he left the pitch at the end of the game. And while his trio of goals secured a crucial three points for Ralf Rangnick’s side, keeping them in the hunt for the top four, Ronaldo also broke a personal record of his own, scoring his 807th competitive goal, making him the all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA history. While much doubt has recently been cast over the 37-year-old striker’s future at the club, he certainly proved his doubters wrong, scoring a hattrick of goals to get the Old Trafford crowd on their feet during the match.

Follow for all the latest Man United news, transfer rumours and analysis ahead of tonight's Tottenham fixture.

This small non-league club in the shadow of Manchester United and Manchester City are on the way up. As they stare down the barrel of one of the biggest matches in the club’s history on Saturday, with the prospect of a trip to the pinnacle of English football, Wembley Stadium, tantalisingly close, the message is clear and resolute. Manchester United have made initial enquiries about signing Lyon forward Moussa Dembele in the summer transfer window. "He resumed for training yesterday," Ralf Rangnick said of Ronaldo. "He trained the whole training session and I expect him to train today as well. Right now it's more likely he will not be available because if we risk him tomorrow he will more likely be out for the game on Tuesday (against Atletico Madrid). With some muscular issues, more if it's the calf, I tend to be careful. Rashford reacted so badly to his omission from the starting XI when Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood were absent it emerged he was considering his future on Monday morning. Edinson Cavani is also set to return after missing the last six games with a groin problem. Tuchel was sacked by Paris Saint-Germain in December 2020 but United did not approach him before he replaced Frank Lampard at Chelsea a month later. Cristiano Ronaldo will be available for selection after being forced to miss the derby at the Etihad with a hip injury. The deal isn't quite done yet and City are remaining cautious, but they are certainly in pole position. United are just one point behind fourth-placed Arsenal, but the North London club have three games in hand — meaning Ralf Rangnick's side can ill afford to drop more points. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and United all left in their wake.

MANCHESTER UNITED could be without a key performer when they host Tottenham on Saturday afternoon.

"Right now, it is more likely that he will not be available because if we risk him tomorrow, he will more likely be out for the game on Tuesday, that's why I tend, with muscular issues - even more so if it's the calf muscle - I tend to be careful." If called upon he will therefore be under pressure to put on a strong display against Spurs, not just for the team's fortunes or even to worm his way back into Rangnick's plans, but to attract potential suitors too. The Lilywhites' form has been patchy since Antonio Conte took charge, and time is running out for them to find a streak of consistency if they are to mount a meaningful challenge for fourth place.

Cristiano Ronaldo broke the record for the highest number of goals scored by an individual player at club level when almost single-handedly hauling Man Utd ...

Like Doherty, struggled to find his range with balls into the box for Kane and co, though did play the cross that led to Maguire’s own goal. Further established his dominance in the midfield in the second half and can count himself unlucky to be on the losing side. Matt Doherty: Lucky not to be punished when caught under the flight of a long ball to Sancho. Wasteful with his delivery at times after a string of stellar recent showings. Came close to levelling the scores from a corner but saw Dalot head his effort off the line. Guilty of not closing Ronaldo down when allowing the striker to shoot from distance for the opener. Guilty of losing Ronaldo from the corner for the winner. Outmuscled and nutmegged by Kulusevski in the passage of play that led to Spurs’ penalty but put that to one side when grabbing an assist for Ronaldo’s second. Alex Telles: Conceded the penalty that led to Spurs’ equaliser when blocking a cross with an outstretched arm. Outmuscled by Kane in the build-up to the second equaliser. Improved his score when expertly positioned to head a Dier effort off the line. The under-fire centre-half slashed at a Sergio Reguilon cross to leave David de Gea stranded in goal. The forward raced down on goal before squaring to Ronaldo to thump home.

Paul Pogba is out of contract at Manchester United at the end of the season and his personal trainer has all but confirmed his future beyond this summer ...
