( CNN ) -- Defending champions Manchester United made it two wins out of two in the new English Premier League season as they beat Tottenham 3-0 at Old Trafford . Second half goals from Danny Welbeck , Anderson and Wayne Rooney sealed a comfortable victory for Alex Ferguson 's youthful side , who went joint top of the table . It marked defeat for Tottenham in their opening game of the season after their first fixture of the new campaign was canceled due to the London riots . Victory took United level at the summit with rivals Manchester City , who maintained their 100 per cent record with a 3-2 win at Bolton on Sunday . United manager Alex Ferguson told Sky Sports : `` The second half was absolutely fantastic . I thought it a fast game , end-to-end , it was very even but in the second half we took off and it was a fantastic performance . '' On hearing it was the second youngest team Manchester United had fielded in the Premier League era Ferguson added : `` It tells you we still believe in young players , more so when you see the ability they 've got . `` This group have fantastic ability -- they force you to play them . '' On Welbeck he added : `` He 's always shown great loyalty Danny , when we put him on loan at Sunderland last season that 's when he grew up . `` He 's a bit rangy , a long-legged boy who can gallop quickly , he 's a good footballer and has a great attitude to win the ball back . '' Tom Cleverley was the first to test Tottenham 's goalkeeper Brad Friedel as the veteran American turned his goal-bound effort round the post before Ashley Young went close with a looping header from Rooney 's cross . Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale both tested United 's Spanish keeper David De Gea in the second half before Welbeck broke the deadlock on the hour with a firm header from Cleverley 's right wing cross . Welbeck was also heavily involved in the second goal as his back-heel wrong footed Tottenham 's defence and Anderson slotted the ball into an empty net . Rooney then grabbed his second of the season as he nodded home Ryan Giggs ' cross from seven yards out . Earlier on Monday United confirmed they have signed a four-year sponsorship with express and logistics company DHL . The deal , worth $ 16.5 million a year according to British newspaper The Financial Times , will see the DHL logo appear on all United 's training kit .
