Manchester United's expectation for their first game following the restart of the season was met with a blip with the Old Trafford outfit coming short in the early minutes if their trip to the Tottenham Stadium. Despite dictating and dominating play for the better part of the proceeding, the visitors had all their hard work undone by one quick attacking move by Spurs. 

A poorly headed pass from Luke Shaw intended for Marcus Rashford fell in the path of Steven Bergwijn around the half-way line. The Dutchman with an electrifying pace, beat a host of Red shirts before smashing the ball home in a 1v1 with David de Gea. Watch the goal below:

Fans on social media have subsequently been unforgiving towards De Gea, with many suggesting that the Spaniard could have done better in keeping the ball out. So far, the former Atletico Madrid shot-stopper has conceded six goals from the last nine shots he has faced.

United legend Roy Keane shared the sentiments of the Red Devils fans, stating that the keeper was overrated.
