News about Dejan Kulusevski

KATHRYN BATTE AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur demolished London rivals West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday in an action-packed derby. The Hammers opened the scoring against the run of play in the 18th minute when Mohammed Kudus netted his second goal of the season. But Spurs hit back emphatically to win 4-1 courtesy of strikes from Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, Son Heung-min and an Alphonse Areola own goal. Kudus was sent off late in the game for violent conduct after kicking Micky van de Ven and then putting his hands in the face of Pape Matar Sarr.

Ally McCoist insisted Mohammed Kudus did not deserve to see red during West ham's defeat to Tottenham in the London derby, despite a moment of madness from the midfielder. Kudus had fired the visitors into an early lead at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, before Dejan Kulusevski levelled for Spurs before the interval. Ange Postecoglou replaced James Maddison with Pape Matar Sarr at half-time and the hosts returned revitalised following the restart, with a quick flurry of goals.

Dejan Kulusevski has disclosed the advice he was given by Cristiano Ronaldo while at Juventus which has taken him four years to understand. Kulusevski played alongside Ronaldo for the Old Lady in the 2020-21 season before the latter made his blockbuster return to Manchester United. The Swede joined the Italian giants at just 20 years of age and was taken under the wing by Ronaldo, who was in his third season at the club. While both at the club, Ronaldo gave Kulusevski seven words of advice that the midfielder remembers to this day.

Harry Maguire has urged his Manchester United teammates to 'take responsibility' for the team's dire form as pressure continues to mount on beleagured boss Erik Ten Hag. The centre-back proved the unlikely hero on Thursday night after his last-minute header rescued a point against Porto in a chaotic 3-3 draw in the Europa League . Intense scrutiny was already focussed on the Red Devils after a humiliating 3-0 loss at home to Tottenham Hotspur just four days earlier which saw goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke sink a woeful United. Maguire has been left out in the cold this season, not starting a Premier League match since the Old Trafford side slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Brighton on August 24.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is 'waiting to take over' from fellow Dutchman Erik ten Hag at Manchester United following the side's humiliating 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham, his old foe Martin Keown has suggested. The Red Devils endured a miserable Sunday afternoon as they were convincingly torn apart by Ange Postecoglou's side at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke. The ordeal piled further pressure on beleaguered boss Ten Hag whose two-year spell at the club appears to be drawing to a close, with United sitting 12th in the table.

OLIVER HOLT: There are many things that are wonderful about American sport, things that make them utterly addictive and enthralling and inspiring, but their occasional readiness to accept the relocation of their teams to new cities at the whim of their owners - usually for financial benefit, of course - is not one of them. It is part of the reason why a shudder goes through me every time I hear suits at American broadcasting giant NBC saying they have their sights set on persuading our clubs to play two games on the opening weekend of a Premier League season in the United States.

Tottenham poked light-hearted fun at darts superstar and Red Devils supporter Luke Littler (left) following their dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Ange Postecoglou 's side celebrated a famous win over Erik ten Hag 's disappointing hosts as Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke all got on the scoresheet.

While Sunday's clash against Tottenham was one to forget for Erik ten Hag and his side, one punter will have been ecstatic with how events unfolded at Old Trafford. After making a £10 stake with a mix of markets on the day's two Premier League fixtures, the lucky fan walked away with an eye-watering return of £16,400. The first fixture involved was the 2pm kick-off that saw Aston Villa take on newly-promoted Ipswich at Portman Road.

United's poor start to the Premier League season got worse on Sunday afternoon when they lost 3-0 against Tottenham at home to leave them 12th in the table with three losses from six. Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke were all on the scoresheet while captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for the first time in his Red Devils career to make matters worse. While manager Erik ten Hag has pledged that things will improve, many others have suggested that time is up for the Dutchman, who last season also delivered United's worst-ever Premier League finish (eighth).

Paul Scholes has slammed one of Manchester United's summer signings following their dismal 3-0 defeat by Tottenham at Old Trafford.   Spurs were completely dominant on Sunday and should have been more than 1-0 in front when United captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a foul on James Maddison in the 42nd minute. Brennan Johnson had fired Spurs ahead in the third minute following a stunning assist by Micky van de Ven. Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke then added goals against United's 10 men in the second half but Spurs also missed multiple big chances to score more.  

The fixture list does not relent for the Dutchman this week, with trips to Porto in the Europa league and Aston Villa in the Premier League. United's top executives apparently still back Ten Hag but have acknowledged that a 'swift reaction' is needed from his players. The Red Devils are languishing 12th in the Premier League and the heat is reaching boiling point following three games without a win.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was at the club's Carrington training ground bright and early on Monday morning as he aimed to put the weekend's 3-0 thrashing by Tottenham behind him. The Dutchman is the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position, after seeing his United side take just seven points from their opening six games. Ten Hag wore a glum expression on his face as he was pictured driving into Carrington while it was still dark outside.

A former Manchester United star blasted his former employer after Sunday's 3-0 home thrashing against Tottenham and called for the squad to be 'dismantled'. Defeat piles more intense scrutiny on Erik ten Hag's managerial position at the club after the 54-year-old was kept in charge following United's FA Cup victory on the final day of last season.

IAN LADYMAN: The good news for Manchester United is that, as the rain came down, the roof didn't leak. They have managed to fix something at last at this great, beleaguered football club it seems. That is where the positive stuff starts and ends, though. Erik ten Hag and his send 'em out and hope for the best tactical masterplan continues to steer United down an alleyway marked irrelevant.  Ten Hag's team have scored five goals so far this Premier League season and three of those came against Southampton. Leicester, Ipswich, Wolves and Everton have all scored more than Ten Hag's failing bunch. Seems the seven they banged in against Barnsley here in the Carabao Cup a couple of weeks ago were not portentous of better times to come after all. Who would have thought it?

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou was delighted with his team's 'outstanding performance' during Sunday's 3-0 win at Manchester United. Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke all found the net for Spurs, who could easily have won by a wider margin after registering 24 shots in total. Two of Tottenham's goals came after Bruno Fernandes had been sent off for a challenge on James Maddison in the 42nd minute that was ruled to be serious foul play.

Manchester United were briefly reduced to nine men during their 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur thanks to a substitution mishap which summed up a humiliating afternoon at Old Trafford. The Red Devils crumbled to a miserable loss which piled further pressure on manager Erik Ten Hag as goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke handed Spurs a fourth consecutive win in all competitions. With the away side on top just before half-time, Bruno Fernandes was sent off for a tackle on James Maddison which gave United a mountain to climb to get back into the contest. To make matters worse, England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo hobbled off injured just moments later as the wheels began to fall off for Ten Hag's outfit.

Bruno Fernandes has revealed that James Maddison told him he did not deserve the red card he received in his side's humiliating 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. The Manchester United captain was sent off for a tackle just below the knee on the Spurs midfielder just before half-time. With the away side already on top at 1-0, Fernandes's first red card for the club all but settled the result this afternoon with Ange Postecoglou's outfit adding two second-half goals. Finishes from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke built on Brennan Johnson's third-minute opener and gave Tottenham their fourth consecutive win in all competitions.

Manchester United 's miserable 3-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur left fans asking tough questions about individual performances. With several players failing to meet expectations, the match exposed weaknesses all over the pitch. Who were the main culprits in United's collapse, and how did Spurs capitalise so effectively? Some new signings, expected to make an impact, struggled to adapt to the pace and physicality of the Premier League .

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-3 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR - OLIVER HOLT AT OLD TRAFFORD: The truth is that Ten Hag is out of excuses. His time is up. There is no hiding place for him any more. His boasts about winning minor trophies are worthless when his team plays like this. Let's be honest about what United stand for as we enter the autumn of the year: no philosophy, no identity, no discipline, no guile, no pattern, no determination, no adventure, no belief, no subtlety, no desire, no intent, no plan. Apart from that, everything's fine. United's attitude stinks. Entitlement runs through them and Ten Hag simply cannot eradicate it, however big he talks and however tough he acts. 

The Korean was substituted in the 3-0 Europa League victory over Qarabag on Thursday night with a suspected hamstring issue. Spur head coach Ange Postecoglou said that his star forward was hoping to training on Saturday which would have boosted his chances of playing against Erik ten Hag 's team.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min scored a wondergoal in his side's pre-season friendly against a K-League XI on Wednesday - and it was all captured on the referee's body-cam.  Tottenham took the lead in Seoul through Dejan Kulusevski just before the half hour mark, before Son doubled their advantage nine minutes later with a brilliant strike. The boy-cam footage shows Son dribbling across the edge of the penalty area onto his right foot before unleashing a powerful effort into the top corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.

Tottenham claimed a 4-3 victory in the second match of their pre-season tour of Asia thanks, in part, to an almighty scolding from their manager Ange Postecoglou . The Premier League outfit were given the hairdryer treatment in full view of the watching public during a drinks break as their clash with a K-League XI remained goalless after 25 minutes. Postecoglou named a strong side including Son Heung-min , Dejan Kulusevski , Brennan Johnson and new signing Archie Gray for the match at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur have handed new squad numbers to two of the club's most promising talents, ahead of their pre-season tour to Asia. Spurs have already played two friendlies since their pre-season began earlier in July, with two victories courtesy of 7-2 thumping of SPL team Hearts, and a 2-0 win over Championship side, QPR. Manager Ange Postecogolou has since picked his squad for Spurs' summer tour of Japan and South Korea, and will be taking 31 players - including a clutch of their exciting young talent.

Tottenham's post-season friendly against Newcastle in Australia was met with plenty of criticism and Dejan Kulusevski admits he was far from happy about taking part in it. Both Ange Postecoglou's and Eddie Howe's squads were spotted boarding planes just mere hours after their final day matches so they could make it to the other side of the world to partake in the exhibition game in Melbourne. The match ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw with the Magpies winning on penatlies in front of an impressive crowd of 80,000.
