Roy Keane has praised Manchester United's response after a dismal run of form, labelling their win over Tottenham Hotspur as "perfect".
Cristiano Ronaldo was the standout performer as United cruised to a 3-0 win over Nuno Espirito Santo's side. He scored with a stunning volley and set up Edinson Cavani for the second goal.
The pressure built for the Spurs boss as his side were booed off at half-time and full-time and saw thousands of fans leave as Marcus Rashford added United's third.
Keane heavily criticised a number of players following the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool including Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, but Saturday saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side keep a first Premier League clean sheet in over two months.
It's a first win in four and a welcome one after a intense week at Old Trafford and Carrington with Solskjaer's position in doubt.
He was able to rest key players, bringing off Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes midway through the second half, with half-an-eye on a tough trip to Bergamo to play Atalanta midweek and the Manchester Derby next weekend.
For Keane, it was the "perfect game" for United, dispatching a "desperate" Spurs side.
He said: "I think it was a perfect game for Manchester United there. Spurs had a cup game this week, Spurs aren’t scoring many goals, I think nine in 10 games. United - a good opportunity, we've seen the stats there Spurs with less possession, which is perfect."
"Once they got the first goal, it was only it was a case of how many do we want to score, it was a perfect day for Manchester United.
"Go back to when I played, we always used to say, ‘it’s Spurs, you will beat Spurs’. This Spurs team were desperate. The biggest criticism I can give this Spurs team, they were 2-0 down and they have a corner after 75 minutes, Man United had everyone back, Spurs kept three players back.
"There were 2-0 down at home. Abysmal. But United, job done but a bigger game obviously next weekend against Manchester City.
