Raphael Varane has suggested there is still more to come from Manchester United after an impressive win against Tottenham. Erik ten Hag decided to bench Cristiano Ronaldo against Tottenham after Sunday's goalless draw with Newcastle, which was the biggest pre-match talking point, but that brave call was vindicated by an outstanding team performance from United.
United began the game with impressive intent and their pressing of Tottenham was superb. Ten Hag's side deserved to be leading at half-time, but it didn't take long after the break for Fred to provide the breakthrough with a deflected effort.

The centre-back spoke to MUTV and he admitted that United can improve by being more clinical, which suggests there is more to come. "Maybe [the best performance under Ten Hag]," Varane said. "It was a very solid game, we created a lot of chances, we could have scored more goals, especially in the first half we created chances.
