Jose Mourinho had gotten the response he wanted from his much-changed side in the first-half at Old Trafford following that awful display at Brighton eight days previously – although they could not find that crucial opening goal.

United’s defensive troubles again cost them once Harry Kane headed Spurs in front from a corner after the break and Lucas Moura added a second just two minutes later. The Brazilian scored Spurs’ third goal six minutes from time to leave United in 13th place after three games.

United have now made their worst start to a league season in 26 years but Pogba has called for calm ahead of Sunday’s trip to Burnley.

“Even we don’t understand what happened. We started the game really well, we conceded two goals in the second-half,” he told reporters post-match.

“The first goal was a real blow, we didn’t understand why, because we had the game in hand. One goal, two…we kept pushing, we had chances, and we conceded the third. The fans kept pushing us, they were really behind us. We feel really sorry for them, very disappointed, we wanted to do better.

“I think it was an undeserved defeat for us. In our desire, in everything we put into it. But football can be cruel. We just have to bounce back. It won’t be easy, but it’s just the start of the season. I prefer to start badly and end well than start well and finish badly.

“It’s bizarre. Today, we were determined, we started well, and in the end we lost 3-0. It’s a shock. We have to keep going, we mustn’t worry. We must work. We are still Manchester United and we won’t give up on anything.”
