Solskjaer's Red Devils thrash Spurs 3-0.

Man Utd thrash Spurs 3-0 [GETTY]

Manchester United bounced back to winning ways against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Edison Cavani, and Marcus Rashford hitting the back of the net.

It was a much-needed three points in the Premier League tie against Spurs after their 5-0 drubbing against Liverpool last weekend.

United were without a win from their last four league matches, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was under immense pressure to deliver today, which he did.

The Red Devils gaffer made a bold change of formation after a week of the constant talk of him getting the sack while the homeside continued their poor form.

Ronaldo broke the deadlock just before half-time as he finished off a quality pass from Bruno Fernandes with a superb volley.

The Portuguese forward then set up Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani for the second goal before substitute Marcus Rashford wrapped up the win with five minutes left to play.

The result heaps more pressure on Tottenham boss Nuno Espírito Santo while Solskjaer takes a breather to prepare for clashes against Atalanta in the Champions League and Manchester City at Old Trafford next weekend.
