Manchester United The 2024/25 Carabao Cup campaign ended on Thursday evening. The Red Devils lost 4-3 to Tottenham Hotspur in north London, in one of the most chaotic matches of the season so far.

Tottenham were 3-0 up with half an hour to go, but two blunders from goalkeeper Fraser Forster gave United two goals, with Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo capitalizing on his mistakes to give United hope. Spurs scored straight from a corner kick to make it 4-2 and managed to avoid a late scare despite Jonny Evans scoring in stoppage time.

United played well that night but there were some poor performances. Two of their worst players were signings made by Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag signings who struggled against Tottenham

Former Red Devils coach Ten Hag loved signing his players from his old club Ajax. Two of the people he brought with him to the red side of Manchester were Anthony, Which cost £81.3 millionAnd Lisandro Martinez, For which the club paid 56.7 million pounds sterling.

It was these two who struggled against the Lilywhites in the Carabao Cup. Anthony gave an incredibly frustrating performance and was substituted after 55 minutes. Playing as a number 10, he failed to create any chances, which he noticed The Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst.

He gave Anthony 4/10 for his efforts against Tottenham and was incredibly critical of United's No. 21. He explained that he “didn't make United play” even though he was one of the key attacking players in the team.

Martinez was also poor, and was at fault for two goals. His clearance of Dejan Kulusevski's shot to make it 2-0 essentially put the goal on a silver platter for the Swede.

Then, in Dominic Solanke's second goal of the night and Tottenham's third, the striker played wide and then failed to make a tackle, as the England international ran past him and slotted the ball into the net.

Just as he did with Anthony, Luckhurst gave the Argentine World Cup winner a 4/10 for his performance. He criticized Martinez's “poor clearance” in the opener, before explaining that it was “worse” in terms of Solanke's finishing.

These two Ten Hag signings certainly let United down at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but there was arguably a player who did worse, in goalkeeper Altay Binder.

Against Tottenham, he was weak. The Red Devils debutant received a 3/10 rating from Luckhurst for his performance, who left him a scathing review. He described his effort to score the first goal as “lousy goalkeeping” and explained that he was “pathetic” because of Son's goal.
