Mauricio Pochettino ended his Old Trafford hoodoo as Tottenham claimed their first victory at the home of Manchester United since 2014, leaving boss Jose Mourinho on the ropes.
A tight first half at Old Trafford saw the two Premier League powerhouses go in goalless at the break.
However, brilliant goals from Harry Kane and Lucas Moura gave Spurs a dream start to the second half with both goals coming within the first seven minutes of the restart. A third added once again by Moura saw off Mourinho's side for good, as Pochettino ended his terrible record at the Theatre of Dreams.
Check out the talking points of the game below.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Key Talking Point
Mourinho will not want to look back on tonight anytime soon, as his side failed miserably to make up for last week's loss to Brighton.
A below par start to the second half, saw United two down within seven minutes. There was no reaction from a poor Red Devils side which left the fans in anger, with many choosing to leave the match early.
The Portuguese boss, who suffered the biggest home loss of his career, took a moment to salute the fans before walking down the tunnel at full-time - a move some have taken as a sign of his possible imminent departure.
WATCH: Really bizarre moment here at Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho applauds Stretford End for nearly a minute after Manchester United were hammered 3-0 by Tottenham. He’s thrown a scarf and then looks close to tears. #MUFC #MUNTOT #THFC pic.twitter.com/0AcNnjGxgl

Man united have conceded SIX goals in 2 games. Jose Mourinho just stood and clapped in front of the Old Trafford crowd for a rather long time. What on earth is coming next.. #MUNTOT

Seems to me, Mourinho’s reaction to the crowd there tells me he knows it’s over.
Would not shock me if he walked.

STAR MAN - United's Faithful would have been glad to see the return of World Cup hero Jesse Lingard.
The England International was energetic, as he looked to break between the lines and create opportunities for his teammates. Although missing a key chance in the second half which was deflected over the bar, Lingard tried his best to make things happen for a stubborn United side.
Lingard has been our best player 狼

WORST PLAYER - Mourinho needed his star players to perform for him this evening, with Romelu Lukaku letting his boss down.
A first half open goal miss was the highlight of the Belgian's night, as a number off misplaced touches added to the strikers frustrations.
Lukaku scores that first half chance, it's a completely different game

#mufc were decent in the first-half but as soon as Spurs were remotely clinical it went to pot. The defence is a mess, Pogba was shambolic and Lukaku costly again. Boos at full-time.

Can Lukaku actually control the ball and lay off a pass pls

Key Talking Point
Prior to kick-off Pochettino was forever being reminded of his poor record against United at Old Trafford, well he won't be hearing it anymore.
A fantastic second half performance saw Spurs run riot at the Theatre of Dreams, with a huge 3-0 victory sending them second in Premier league table, being one of four teams with a 100% record from their first three games.

STAR MAN - Scoring a double away at Old Trafford is a rare accomplishment, but Lucas Moura joined an exclusive club with special individual performance.
The Brazilian put in a great display in front of the Spurs fans who would have been worried they hadn't replaced South Korean winger Son Heung-min.
He capped off his performance scoring his sides second and third goals. With the first being a lovely finish from 12 yards, before a wonderful individual goal which saw the midfielder drive away from defender Chris Smalling before finishing beyond De Gea.
I’ve been very impressed by Lucas Moura today. He’s been my MOTM

Next time I hit barbers I’m getting the Lucas Moura trim. Legendary

WORST PLAYER- The man that struggled against United this evening was returning full-back Danny Rose.
Rose, saw himself taken off in the second half with the worry of yet another injury to the England defender. A first half misplaced pass gifted Lukaku a dream opportunity to take the lead, which, luckily for Rose, he missed.
Looking Ahead
Mourinho's side will look to bounce back from consecutive defeats as the Red Devils travel to Turf Moor to play Burnley next Sunday.
Spurs will be looking to keep up their 100% record at the start of the season as they take on high flyers Watford at Vicarage Road.
