Sir Alex Ferguson smiled with satisfaction in the stands at Old Trafford as Manchester United, led by Michael Carrick, secured four consecutive victories, showing convincing and strong performance.
Sir Alex Ferguson was present in the VIP stands at Old Trafford on the evening of 7/2/2026 and couldn’t hide his joy witnessing Manchester United’s convincing 2-0 win over Tottenham.This marked the fourth straight win for the Red Devils under Michael Carrick’s leadership, a streak that made the Scottish legend visibly proud.
After the match, Sir Alex Ferguson left the stands with a broad smile. That image said it all: MU is heading in the right direction, controlling the game well and playing with a clearer identity. This victory helped the Red Devils maintain their 4th place in the 2025/26 Premier League standings, while closing the gap to the top 3.
On the pitch, MU completely dominated the game. Tottenham performed poorly from the start, and things worsened when Christian Romero received a direct red card in the 29th minute for stamping on Casemiro’s foot. Referee Michael Oliver had no choice but to send off the Argentine defender. From that moment, the visitors nearly collapsed.
Just 9 minutes later, MU took advantage of the numerical superiority with a clever free-kick. Kobbie Mainoo delivered a precise pass for Bryan Mbeumo to run in and calmly finish to open the score. In the second half, the Red Devils kept pressing. Although Amad Diallo and Mateus Cunha had goals disallowed for offside, the pressure never eased. In the 80th minute, Bruno Fernandes sealed the 2-0 win following an assist from Diogo Dalot.
Statistics show MU has won four consecutive matches, beating Man City 2-0, Arsenal and Fulham both 3-2, and then Tottenham 2-0. Notably, Bryan Mbeumo continues his strong form after the Africa Cup of Nations, scoring 3 goals in the last 4 games. A resilient, efficient, and energetic MU – enough to satisfy Sir Alex Ferguson.
