Manchester United's Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes scored to down 10-man Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday, tightening their grip on fourth place in the Premier League and piling the pressure on visiting coach Thomas Frank.

United moved to 44 points from 25 games, four points ahead of Chelsea in fifth having played a game more. Tottenham remain in 14th with 29 points from 25 games.
