The managers...

Mourinho: "We work all week, and by the strategic point of view we didn't lose, by the tactical point of view we didn't lose, but we lost the game. We work very, very well during the week, we prepared the game very well, we played very well, the players had a fantastic attitude."

Jose Mourinho says Manchester United fought well against Tottenham and maintains the entire team is united despite their 3-0 home defeat

Mauricio Pochettino: "It's only three points but after four years playing here without scoring one goal and all that was negative for us, 3-0 away from home at Old Trafford is a massive, massive victory. I said from the beginning, this is not decisive. Of course, this will provide us with a lot of confidence, and trust in how we are working. But we know that it's too far away, the end of the season."

Nev: Why Utd can't sack Jose

Neville is adamant Manchester United should not consider sacking Mourinho until the end of the season at the earliest.

He told Monday Night Football: "We saw Louis van Gaal sacked after an FA Cup final victory, we saw David Moyes sacked with four games to go of a season, so we are no longer talking about a football club that is behaving as it has historically done.

"I accept these are different times and I accept the difficulties and challenges, but my honest view as I stand here now is that Ed Woodward gave him a contract last season, only seven or eight months ago, and he should see that contract through to the end and do the job."
