Mauricio Pochettino hails Tottenham Hotspur’s second-half performance against Manchester United as the best since he took over and gives a Harry Kane update
Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham Hotspurs second half performance against Manchester United was the best during his reign as manager.Spurs were caught on the counter attack by United at the end of the first half as Paul Pogba produced a stunning pass to find Marcus Rashford, who finished smartly past Hugo Lloris.Despite creating numerous chances, the hosts were ultimately wasteful at Wembley and lost the game 1-0.4

Pochettino was pleased with the performance, but not the result

However, Pochettino believes it is the best he has seen his side play since he took over in 2014.He told Ian the Moose Abrahams after the game: I feel much, much better than you believe.I am so happy with the performance. I see more to do that we made on the pitch impossible.“I think there was 11 saves from De Gea that was outstanding and of course, we were not clinical in front of goal.4

“We created and played unbelievable football. It was, I think, after four years and a half at Tottenham I think the 45 minutes that we play in the second half were the best performance that I saw.”Pochettinos misery was compounded in the dying moments of the game when, as Spurs pushed for an equaliser, talisman Harry Kane was caught by a robust challenge which left him in a heap on the floor.The England captain received treatment after the final whistle and eventually hobbled off the Wembley turf.However, Pochettino admitted there was already swelling on the ankle and Kane would have to be assessed.4

We will see what happens in the next few days, he added. We need to assess him, but theres already a bit of swelling in his ankle.I think everyone has seen the tackle on the end, unless you are Mike Dean!But yes, it was a massive tackle but we need to assess and hope that it is not a big issue.
