    Tottenham came back from behind twice in a pulsating Premier League encounter to deny Manchester United a victory in front of new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

    Ratcliffe, attending his first game since a proposed 25% purchase of his boyhood club was confirmed on Christmas Eve, said beforehand that he was "very excited" to be there.

    And he saw Rasmus Hojlund drive United into a third-minute lead.

    But Ratcliffe's pre-match assertion that United "normally do well against Spurs" wasn't quite borne out here.

    Brazilian striker Richarlison levelled with his sixth goal in as many Premier League games for the visitors, who were without three players, including captain Son Heung-min - away with South Korea at the Asian Cup.

    Marcus Rashford put the hosts ahead before the break, but Rodrigo Bentancur wiped out the advantage a minute after the restart with a blistering shot, his first goal since April, during which time he has recovered from a cruciate knee ligament injury and an ankle problem.

    The rest of the game would have been an education for Ratcliffe, who sat next to Sir Alex Ferguson in the directors' box. United had less than 40% possession, nine shots against Tottenham's 16 and only a third of the visitors' six on target.

  3. 'We have a front three that is a threat for every opponent'published at 19:20 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Manchester United

    Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think it was a very intense game. It was very good game for the audience. When you analyse the game and look back, we are slightly disappointed because we were twice up and you concede some soft goals like we did."

    Pleasing start of game: "It was very good and we scored two great goals in the first half. It was good to see how we broke the lines and were direct. That is why it is disappointing when you don't win."

    Breaking the lines: "First of all, we need to defend as a team, be compact and attack the full-backs. That breaks the lines and you create chances."

    Front three partnership: "I think you see it is growing and add Garnacho. We have a front three that is a threat for every opponent."

    Poor goals to concede: "The first is the corner and we got two warnings. There was already a ball on the by-line. You have to be more physical. That shouldn't happen. We know the quick release and we allowed them the diagonal pass that broke our whole team."

    Second half: "The game was that intense, the level dropped all over."

    Controlling game more: "I think we can bring more calmness and composure on the ball. We gave so much space away so it is challenging to pass the ball in midfield."

    Sir Jim Ratcliffe watching: "He will have seen a team fighting for each other and trying to get a win. He will have seen two great goals."

  4. 'There is pressure when you come here'published at 19:15 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Manchester United

    Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, speaking to BBC MOTD: "It's started to click maybe now a little bit. I think we are linking up better offensively and we can see that."

    Rashford partnership: "I was happy to assist him today. He's done that to me in the last couple of days."

    Taking time to score: "I know there is pressure when you come here but I am 21 next month. I am a young player, I have loads of time. There is pressure when you are a football player for Manchester United."

  5. 'We were the better team today'published at 19:10 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Manchester United

    Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, speaking to Sky Sports: "A little bit disappointed. I think we played a very good game, especially offensively. I think we're starting to click. Everyone is feeling confident but then we concede two not so good goals. We should be a little more focussed. We should be better and they had another chance afterwards too and we spoke about it."

    On scoring goal: "There's been a lot of focus about me not scoring in the Premier League but I've always believed in myself. It's taken time but it's not like I've not been scoring goals. My team-mates help me everyday. You can always take the confidence with you from the earlier games. It's instinct."

    Rashford link-up: "I'm happy to give him an assist today. He's feeding me all the time."

    Taking confidence from match: "It is a little disappointing because I think we were the better team today. Spurs are also a very good team and have done well this season."

  6. A first at OT this season for Rashfordpublished at 19:07 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Marcus Rashford scored his first goal at Old Trafford this season, with his previous one for Manchester United coming against Chelsea last May.

    Today was his 14th home appearance of 2023-24 across all competitions, while he netted with what was his 32nd shot across those outings.

  7. 'A great tempo to the game'published at 19:03 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Manchester United

    Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, speaking to MOTD: "I am quite disappointed, when you go ahead twice and then concede two soft goals it is a bit frustrating, but you have to take it as it is.

    "The attitude from the team was great, the spirit was great. We fought and gave everything. The fans were behind us and I think it was a great game for everyone to see, not just Manchester United fans, because there was a great tempo to the game.

    "Senior players like Casemiro, Martinez and Luke Shaw are returning and when you add that to our team I am sure it is a strong side."

    On Hojlund-Rashford partnership: "They are growing together so keep going with the progress."

  8. 'We've had a really rough week off the field with illness'published at 18:56 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm delighted mate. I thought we played really well. It wasn't the greatest of starts being a goal down particularly here. Our response was outstanding and our football after that was really good. In the second half we really controlled the game. We've had a really rough week off the field with illness and other things."

    On sticking to game plan: "We got in before that. We had a nice little passage and got up the park. Manchester United on the transition are still a very good team. Players like Rashford, Bruno and Garnacho can unlock any defence. We did everything today. That's where our strengths lie and theirs. If you give the ball away, there's always that threat. Both full-backs had tough jobs."

    Control Man United: "You're aware of it but you're never going to totally deal with it. This fool proof system everyone is seeking will never exist. Some of our football was outstanding today."

    Set piece goal: "Mason is in charge of attacking set pieces and he's doe a fantastic job all year. We knew we'd need players in playing their first game for a while."

    On Kulusevski absence: "He hadn't trained all week, Skippy was under the weather and so was Destiny. All year we've just got on with it. It was a big game, particularly away from home. Romero was outstanding as the skipper."

    Getting more players back: "I hope so. This tunnel has been pretty long. We've done alright."

  9. 'We deserved to win'published at 18:52 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou speaking to MOTD: "You always want to win games but I couldn't be prouder of the players. They have had to deal with a fair bit this week and to put on a performance like that... I thought the way we handled the game was outstanding.

    "They are a good team on the counter. For the most part we dealt with it OK. Our response to both of their goals was outstanding and I thought in the second half we were the better side and deserved to win.

    "We've had a rough week with some illness in the camp. Credit to the players they kept going to the end. It was an outstanding effort.

    "Timo had two training sessions and played 60 minutes for the club. He was outstanding.

    "We have 10 days until the next game, hopefully get some players back and at least some training into these boys. We will give them some time off because they have earned it."

  10. 'He can be really important for us'published at 18:47 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we played a good game, we had a lot of the ball. Man United are dangerous on the counter attacks. I think it was a good game from our side."

    On being back in team: "It's great to be back and I enjoyed it. I had cramp at the end. It was just cramp and the cold. You saw the intensity of the game. I didn't play for two and a half months."

    On Man United counter attack: "We have to be aware of the counter attack. We knew they would wait for our mistakes because we want to play."

    On Timo Werner: "I played against him already with Leipzig and I know he has a lot of pace. He can be really important for us."

  11. 'It's a lot of fun to play here'published at 18:43 GMT 14 January 2024

    FT: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham striker Timo Werner, speaking to Sky Sports: "First of all, I'm very happy to be back. It's a lot of fun to play here. You see today it's the best league with the tempo and the game. I enjoyed it very much. One point but in the next few days I can train more with the guys and it can go better."

    On pre-match nerves: "To play for a new club in this stadium against United, you're always a bit nervous. You try to enjoy it."

    On excitement to be at Spurs: "Very excited. What I see and what the coaches and players did for me in the last few days was incredible. I was included straight away. I want to play in our stadium."

    Assist in first game: "You always want to score as the offensive player but if you can assist, that is also good."

    Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham

    This was the first time that Tottenham had started a Premier League match without both Harry Kane and Son Heung-min in the starting XI since March 2020 (v Burnley).

    Following today’s draw, they’ve failed to win each of their last five league games when neither player has featured (D3 L2).

    Spurs fans are turning into West Ham fans. The team is probably the best it’s been for a while but they’re still unhappy the management. Drawing away to both Manchester clubs..

    I think Manchester United will be happy with the draw. Tottenham dominated the second half but they didn't work Onana enough.

    I think both teams will be happy coming away with a point each.

    All over and all square.

    The second half failed to live up to a thrilling first and not an ideal result for either side really.

    And that is the chance!

    Alejandro Garnacho finds Scott McTominay with a great cross but the midfielder, unmarked, heads over.

    Into the final minute. There's no urgency from Tottenham now but the home fans roar on their side for one last chance.
