A few weeks ago Jose Mourinho looked glum, forced to fend off rumours that he is unhappy in Manchester and that he was disappointed with the relative lack of spending power at his disposal.

David Beckham played for Manchester United from 1992 till 2003, he made 265 appearances for the red devils and contributed 62 goals.

Alexis Sanchez will laugh off the abuse he expects to receive from rival supporters, according to Jose Mourinho.

Tottenham host Manchester United tomorrow night.

While both teams possess huge quality, Jose Mourinho’s track-record in encounters against other big six sides suggests we may be in for a low-scoring game.

Having chalked up only seven wins in their last 15 Premier League games, Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham have fallen dramatically out of contention for the league title and now sit on the outside of the Champions League spots.

Sanchez swapped Arsenal for Manchester United earlier in the transfer window in a deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan go in the opposite direction.

“He is a fantastic player and he showed that for three years and for the past three days when he was training for us, so he’s an unbelievable addition for us”. With 49 goals scored, Manchester United represent the third highest scoring team in the league, as well as the best defensive side with just 16 conceded.

Elsehwere only Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains an injury doubt having not fully recovered from his serious knee injury last season. But is he the right person to lead Manchester United?

United are now in second place and Spurs in fifth, with an eight point gap now between the two teams.

Mourinhho became the first United manager ever to win a trophy during his debut season with the club. They have not won away at Tottenham since a 3-1 win at White Hart Lane in March 2012.
