Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said he needs to sign more players before the end of the transfer window, after his side were beaten 1-0 by Manchester United on Saturday.
Toby Alderweireld was Tottenham’s only new signing to start at Old Trafford, with Kieran Trippier and Kevin Wimmer resigned to the bench throughout, while Dele Alli made his competitive debut for the club as a second-half substitute.
Harry Kane started the match as a lone striker but failed to test Sergio Romero on his United debut, and Pochettino admits he needs more firepower up front.
"Yes, this is very clear," he said. "We need to add more players."
However, Pochettino did claim his side were “unlucky” to lose at Old Trafford, as Kyle Walker’s attempted clearance sealed the points for Louis Van Gaal’s team in the first-half.
"Today we were unlucky. It was very frustrating and disappointing in the dressing room," Pochettino said.
"In the first 20 minutes we dominated the game and created a chance. After that mistake we conceded a goal.
"I think we created more chances and deserved more than to lose 1-0.
"I think we played well and a high level. But it's true that when you make a mistake when you have the player in front of you like Rooney, like Depay, like (Ashley) Young then they will get a chance and score."
