Besides the home advantage and Tottenham being ravaged by injuries, Man Utd also benefited from their opponents having to play with ten men after just 30 minutes of play.
With their squad functioning smoothly and players in top form, there's no reason for the "Red Devils" to miss the opportunity to end their four-year winless streak against their North London rivals.
Michael Carrick's side dominated possession for most of the match, taking 21 shots, 10 of which were on target, and scoring two goals. Bryan Mbeumo continued his scoring form against Tottenham, while Bruno Fernandes also contributed a crucial goal. Conversely, Spurs only managed one shot on target throughout the 90 minutes.
MU maintained their position in the top 4 with 44 points, 4 points ahead of Chelsea. Under Carrick, he led the Old Trafford team to 4 consecutive wins, something his predecessor Ruben Amorim failed to achieve during his tenure.

Cristian Romero's unforgivable mistake in the 30th minute caused the game to spiral out of control for Tottenham. His studs-up tackle on Casemiro's ankle sent the Argentinian defender off the pitch. According to Otpa, since joining Tottenham in 2021, Romero has been sent off six times in all competitions, the most of any player in the Premier League.
With their number one center-back sent off, Tottenham's defense lost its solidity. Just eight minutes after playing with a man advantage, the home side opened the scoring with an impressive corner kick. Mbeumo once again caused heartbreak for manager Thomas Frank, and also reached the milestone of 10 goals for MU this season.

For the remainder of the match, MU played comfortably and added another goal to seal the victory after Bruno's close-range finish. The Portuguese star scored his sixth goal and provided 12 assists.
In the next round, Carrick's team will travel to West Ham, currently sitting 18th in the table, while Tottenham will return home to face Newcastle.
