United win a corner and Shaw's cross causes a scramble in the area, but the offside flag denies the Red Devils. That may be that as the referee checks his watch…
90' +2
Spurs are just unable to get a foot on the ball at the moment. They looked the more likely winners when Son levelled things up, but United's three-man midfield is dictating things again now.
90' +1
United win a corner on the left, but Fred's dreadful delivery is hacked away by the first defender. The midfielder has been disappointing since entering the fray.
90'
The fourth official has signalled for a minimum of four minutes of added time! Will we get a dramatic winner?
89'
Kane attempts to send Danjuma clear with a ball over the top, but Dalot matches the Spurs man stride for stride to recover possession.
88'
We're into the final two minutes of the 90 as United look to build an attack. Ten Hag's team enjoyed so much control in the first 45 minutes, but their drop-off since Fernandes' miss has been alarming.
87'
J. Tanganga enters the game and replaces Son Heung-Min.
Tottenham make another change as Son is replaced by Tanganga. Danjuma looks to have taken up a more advanced role in the aftermath of that switch.
86'
There's a concerning few moments for Spurs as Kane goes down and requires treatment. The striker quickly gets back to his feet, and though he's moving gingerly, he seems able to continue.
85'
Martial goes down in the area following a challenge from Kulusevski! There's a brief VAR check for a spot-kick, but replays show the Tottenham man won the ball fairly. No penalty!
Minute
Description
83'
Rashford sends a long-range volley whistling over the crossbar. Since Fernandes' glaring miss at 2-1, the Red Devils have not created anything of note. Spurs will fancy their chances of a remarkable comeback victory.
81'
The home crowd are in fine voice now as Tottenham surge forward. The hosts' response has been excellent since the break, but United have been dismal in the last 30 minutes or so. They gave Kane far too much space on the edge of the area, and he punished them by combining with Son.
79'
Son Heung-Min has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by H. Kane.
GOAAAAAAAAAL! SON LEVELS IT UP! The Kane-Son partnership rescues Spurs! Kane finds space between Malacia and Shaw in the right-hand channel. The England man advances into the area and sends a delicate low cross to the back post, where a scruffy finish from Son is enough to make it 2-2! What a response from Tottenham!
Kane could hardly believe his luck, having been left in 20 yards of space after Romero stepped up to win a simple high ball. The striker made the most of United's poor defending, finding his partner-in-crime Son at the far post!
77'
B. Davies enters the game and replaces I. Perišić.
A. Danjuma enters the game and replaces Pedro Porro.
On the opposite flank, Davies replaces Perisic. United will be quite pleased to see the back of the Croatian, who was causing them problems.
The Tottenham goalscorer Porro makes way, with Danjuma on at right wing-back.
75'
Now Weghorst catches Skipp in midfield, and Spurs win another free-kick 30 yards from goal. Mason is about to make another two changes, as Spurs look for an equaliser.
74'
Lindelof is very fortunate there! The United defender – who has already been booked – lunges in on Son. The hosts want Anthony Taylor to brandish a second yellow card, but Lindelof escapes. That will surely be his last warning.
73'
United are enjoying a much-needed spell on the ball. Spurs should at least be level following those misses from Son and Dier. There's an edge to this match now, and you'd expect the chances to continue to flow.
71'
W. Weghorst enters the game and replaces Antony.
T. Malacia enters the game and replaces A. Wan-Bissaka.
Weghorst is also on, with Antony making way. The Brazilian winger has been anonymous since the interval.
Ten Hag is turning to his bench again. Malacia replaces Wan-Bissaka, allowing Dalot to shift across to right-back.
70'
It's United's turn to attack as Rashford wins a corner. Fernandes receives it short and goes for goal from a tight angle, but Forster punches his effort away.
68'
United have completely lost control of this game since half-time. Tottenham's fans will wonder why their team failed to play with this intensity in the first 45 minutes.
67'
Spurs come again down the right as Kulusevski gets in behind. He shoots from a narrow angle with De Gea scrambling... but it skids well wide.
64'
Kane wants a foul after being left in a heap by Shaw on halfway. The referee is unmoved, and United eventually come away with possession.
62'
Tottenham have improved greatly since Porro halved the deficit. They need to maintain this intensity as they search for an equaliser.
61'
Fred enters the game and replaces C. Eriksen.
A. Martial enters the game and replaces J. Sancho.
D. Kulusevski enters the game and replaces Richarlison.
United respond with two substitutions of their own. Martial is on for the Red Devils' first goalscorer Sancho.
Former Tottenham midfielder Eriksen, meanwhile, receives a positive reception as he makes way. Fred takes his place.
Spurs make their first change. Kulusevski replaces Richarlison out wide.
60'
Just wide! The kick is cleared as far as Hojbjerg, who sends a long-range volley skimming off the turf and narrowly wide of the bottom-left corner. That wasn't far away.
59'
V. Lindelöf gets yellow.
Lindelof kicks through Kane on halfway and picks up a yellow card. It's a competitive affair now!
Perisic darts to the byline and wins a corner. Spurs appear to be readying Kulusevski on the sidelines, but first, they have a chance to swing this set-piece into the area.
57'
United were appealing for a foul in the aftermath of Porro's goal, but the strike will stand. If anything, Richarlison may have been pushed from the initial cross.
56'
Pedro Porro has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur!
GOOOOOAAAAAL! PORRO GETS ONE BACK! 2-1! What a hit from Porro, and Spurs are back in the game! Richarlison misses his header from a left-wing cross and Kane sees a close-range effort blocked. The ball drops to Porro near the edge of the area, and the wing-back fires a terrific volley into the top-right corner. Game on!
54'
Richarlison steals possession from Wan-Bissaka following a nice United move and charges towards the area. Wan-Bissaka recovers, however, racing back to repay the favour and halt Richarlison's advance.
51'
Spurs started the second half on the front foot, but Eriksen and Fernandes are helping United to control the tempo now. The hosts have lacked quality in midfield, but it's difficult to see how Mason can solve that particular problem from the bench.
50'
There is some bad news coming in from elsewhere for Tottenham. Newcastle are 3-0 up at Everton, so as it stands, both United and Newcastle will go nine points clear of Spurs, having played fewer games.
47'
Spurs win an early corner on the right, which Porro delivers low. Perisic flicks it on, and Casemiro knocks it behind for a second set-piece. Porro swings in a deeper cross, but it's comfortably cleared.
46'
Tottenham kick us off for the second half, with no changes made by either team. They need to produce something special to avoid suffering a third successive defeat.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: TOTTENHAM 0-2 MANCHESTER UNITED
45' +1
We're into two additional minutes at the end of this first half, and United have Tottenham exactly where they want them, thanks to goals from Sancho and Rashford.
44'
M. Rashford has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by Bruno Fernandes.
GOAAAAAAL! RASHFORD STRIKES AT THE OTHER END! 2-0! Seconds after Perisic is denied by De Gea, Fernandes picks out Rashford's run with a long ball over the top. The United forward isolates Dier, sprinting past his England team-mate and firing home left-footed! United are in control!
Fernandes gets the assist after dropping deep to send a long ball over the top for Rashford. The forward still had a lot to do, however, beating Dier for pace and finishing across Forster!
43'
A. Wan-Bissaka gets yellow.
Hojbjerg is followed into the book by Wan-Bissaka, who kicks through Richarlison on halfway.
41'
P. Højbjerg gets yellow.
Hojbjerg picks up the first yellow card of the game for a trip on Fernandes. United win a free-kick 25 yards from goal, but Eriksen sends it well over the crossbar.
40'
Spurs then go up the other end as Kane races to the byline. The England skipper drills the ball across the face of goal, but none of his team-mates can meet it and United escape!
36'
Where are Richarlison's team-mates!? The Spurs man does brilliantly to get to the byline and find a cut-back into the six-yard box, but there are no white shirts to meet it! Dalot is able to turn on the ball unopposed and get United moving.
34'
Richarlison breaks in behind Lindelof and sees a low cross cut out, only to be flagged offside. The Brazilian has certainly been Spurs' liveliest attacker so far, though there has not been much competition!
33'
The atmosphere is very flat at present, with sporadic chants of 'we want Levy out' audible among the home fans. They cannot be happy with what they're seeing.
31'
Perisic leads another raid down the left and sees a cross deflect behind off Wan-Bissaka. Porro lines up another delivery from the corner… but he completely overhits it, and the ball rolls through for a goal-kick on the opposite side. That's poor from the wing-back!
28'
Chance wasted! Richarlison finds space on the left-hand side of the box, but instead of going for goal, he attempts to pick out Porro at the far post. It's a poor decision, but the ball is cleared behind for a corner.
27'
Spurs are enjoying a spell of possession deep inside their own territory. The hosts have struggled to get Kane and Son involved so far.
23'
Fernandes wins a corner on the right, but Shaw's delivery is poor and only reaches the first defender. Casemiro then looks for Rashford with a deep cross, but Lenglet heads it away.
22'
There has not been much to separate the teams for most of this game, but United are clearly more dangerous when they come forward. Spurs' backline looks nervous after being torn apart at Newcastle last week.
18'
Romero is fortunate as he decides to leave a dangerous Wan-Bissaka cross, with no United player gambling at the back post. The Red Devils come again, and Hojbjerg hammers a clearance out of play.
15'
Tottenham are at least showing some fight as they attempt to hit back. Richarlison holds off Wan-Bissaka and feeds Kane, but the Spurs stand-in skipper sees his pass towards Son cut out.
13'
Kane and Son combine to send Richarlison into the left-hand channel, from where the Brazilian shoots straight at De Gea. Had the Spurs man converted, he may have been denied by the offside flag.
12'
Close! Rashford goes for a trademark, dipping attempt from the free-kick. He strikes it well, but it just drifts away from Forster's right-hand post!
11'
Dier steps out of the backline and trips Rashford, handing United a free-kick 30 yards from goal. It's in quite a central area, so we may see a set-piece routine.
10'
That early United goal has sucked the life out of the home crowd, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy looking on with a gloomy expression. If there's a positive to be found for Tottenham supporters, they're doing better than last week, when they were 3-0 down within 10 minutes!
8'
Richarlison battles with Wan-Bissaka as Spurs look to hit back. Perisic works space for a cross, but he puts far too much power on the delivery and it flies all the way through.
7'
J. Sancho has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by M. Rashford.
GOAAAAAAAL! SANCHO PUTS UNITED AHEAD! The visitors strike first as Sancho picks out the bottom-right corner! It's so simple for United as Lindelof finds Rashford with a defence-splitting pass. Rashford offloads to Sancho on the left-hand side of the area, and he cuts inside to bend a low effort home! 1-0!
Rashford is credited with the assist after holding off a firm challenge from Hojbjerg before picking out Sancho. That was a nice move from United, but the ease with which Rashford found space will concern Mason.
5'
Good defending! Porro threads a neat ball in behind for Son, who attempts a first-time cut-back from the right. Kane is lurking, but Dalot is on hand to clear.
4'
The visitors are enjoying most of the early possession. Fernandes drops deep to sweep a ball in behind for Rashford, but the forward is correctly flagged offside.
3'
United have lined up as expected, with Shaw playing as a left-sided centre-back as their defensive injury crisis continues. For Tottenham, Richarlison has started from the left, with Son on the opposite flank.
1'
We're under way at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Fernandes gets the ball rolling!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of this Premier League fixture as Tottenham host Manchester United!
Another Premier League game, another new face in the Tottenham dugout. Ryan Mason begins his second interim spell in charge of Spurs, looking to mastermind a response after Sunday's remarkable 6-1 defeat to Newcastle United signalled the end of Cristian Stellini's time as acting head coach. Spurs begin this game in seventh, six points adrift of fourth-placed United having played two additional matches. Mason's men look highly unlikely to force their way into contention for a top-four finish, and they could find themselves out of Europe entirely without major improvements.
United arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in high spirits, having reached a record-equalling 21st FA Cup final with Sunday's penalty shoot-out victory over Brighton and Hove Albion at Wembley Stadium. While Erik ten Hag's men appear likely to secure a return to the Champions League in the coming weeks, a victory here would surely kill Spurs' slim hopes of catching them, as well as boosting the Red Devils' bid to beat Newcastle United to third place.
TOTTENHAM (3-4-3): Fraser Forster; Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet; Pedro Porro, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp, Ivan Perisic; Richarlison, Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min.
TOTTENHAM SUBS: Brandon Austin, Davinson Sanchez, Arnaut Danjuma, Dejan Kulusevski, Japhet Tanganga, Lucas Moura, Pape Sarr, Ben Davies, Romaine Mundle.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot; Christian Eriksen, Casemiro; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho; Marcus Rashford.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Jack Butland, Anthony Martial, Tyrell Malacia, Marcel Sabitzer, Fred, Wout Weghorst, Facundo Pellistri, Brandon Williams, Anthony Elanga.
United managed 11 shots to Tottenham's six and amassed 1.24 xG to their hosts' 0.3 in a controlled first-half display. The Red Devils have also enjoyed over 60 per cent of the possession, with Spurs producing a flat performance lacking in inspiration and penetration. Mason needs to change something quickly.
We hope you have enjoyed our coverage of a lively Premier League draw between Tottenham and Manchester United. It's goodbye from us, and we'll see you next time!
After a game of two halves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, United retain a six-point lead over their hosts in the Premier League table. Spurs do move back up into fifth following midweek wins for Aston Villa and Liverpool, but they are just one point clear of the seventh-placed Reds, and six adrift of United in fourth. Their Champions League hopes look to be over, and they are surely battling for Europa League qualification now.
