Manchester United were knocked out of the Carabao Cup at the quarter-final stage in a barmy 4-3 defeat to Tottenham.

Spurs raced into a three-goal lead thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke (two) and Dejan Kulusevski, before goalkeeper Fraser Forster gifted the visitors a way back into the game, with Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo scoring after his woeful distribution.

United’s own goalkeeper than made a blunder of his own, conceding a direct corner to Son Heung-min.

There was still time for Jonny Evans to half the deficit again, but it wasn’t enough and it ended 4-3.

Dom Smith was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to rate the Manchester United players’ performances…

Altay Bayindir 3

Horror night for the goalkeeper. Conceded four goals, including a direct corner by Son. Given a yellow for protesting he had been fouled. Eesh...

Victor Lindelof 5

Came off in the 45th minute due to injury and went straight down the tunnel, looking distraught.

Leny Yoro 6

Good display from the Frenchman, not directly at fault for United’s poor defending. Threaded some nice passes into midfield.

Noussair Mazraoui 5

Poor late tackle on Djed Spence saw him pick up a yellow card in the first half.

Lisandro Martinez 4

At fault for the second goal as his lackadaisical half-clearance fell to Kulusevski to convert with ease.

Diogo Dalot 5

Anonymous display by the Portuguese wing-back, whose positioning often gifted Spurs space to run into.

Bruno Fernandes 6

A very quiet evening for the skipper, but he did read Fraser Forster’s poor pass out and then assist Zirkzee.

Manuel Ugarte 6

The game seemed to happen to him. Needs to offer so much more, after United forked out £42million to sign him.

Christian Eriksen 6

The best United performer until he was replaced on 56 minutes. Without much luck, at least he tried to make things happen against his former club.

Antony 5

Had one shot, probably heading in, which was blocked. Other than that,

Rasmus Hojlund 4

Bullied by Radu Dragusin all night. United got back into the match, but not thanks to the Dane.

Subs:

Jonny Evans (Lindelof 45’) 6

Nutmegged by Solanke for the third of Tottenham’s goals. Came on just before the interval after an injury to Lindelof. Scored late on with a fine header from a corner.

Amad Diallo (Antony, 56’) 6

Came on and definitely made an impact, taking plenty of shots, but was a tad wasteful in front of goal, despite closing Forster down to score.

Joshua Zirkzee (Hojlund, 56’) 6

Posed Tottenham a different problem. Scored the goal (a tap-in) that got them back into the game.

Kobbie Mainoo (Eriksen, 56’) 5

Did okay but struggled to keep the inspired Kulusevski at bay.

Not used: Onana, Maguire, Malacia, Garnacho, Casemiro
