After the big loss, 0-5, against rival Liverpool last weekend, the headlines in Manchester have been about coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's being or not being in the club.

However, the Norwegian remained at the helm and led Manchester United in the heavyweight meeting away against Tottenham.

Then he saw Cristiano Ronaldo's volley cannon give United the lead with five minutes left of the first half.

Bruno Fernandes hit a shot that Ronaldo skillfully volleyed next to the far post.

Eight points behind the table

Ronaldo had a ball in the net also in the second half but was ruled out for offside.

Instead, another attacking veteran stepped forward in the form of Edinson Cavani.

Bruno Fernandes and Ronaldo played together in the offensive half of the field, after which the latter played a deep-running Cavani who with a neat lift lifted the ball over Hugo Lloris and into goal.

Manchester United, who had Victor Nilsson Lindelöf on the pitch throughout the match, eventually won 3-0 after Marcus Rashford determined the final result in the final stage.

The victory was United's first after two heavy results against Leicester followed by Liverpool.

The team is now fifth in the Premier League - eight points behind league leaders Chelsea.
