“In general, I think we lost against a very good team. I praise my players and also praise Manchester United,” he added.

“Losing points from being superior is one of the situations that makes me uncomfortable talking to the media anymore,” he said.
Meanwhile Tottenham Chairman, Daniel Levy has reached a decision over the future of manager Jose Mourinho after Spurs’ 3-1 defeat to Manchester United yesterday, according to Voetbal 24.
