Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho insists that his side will not benefit from having an extra day's rest to Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that his players will not benefit from having an extra day's rest to Tottenham Hotspur.

The two teams square off at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime, with Spurs having only faced West Ham United on Wednesday night in comparison to United playing Swansea City on Tuesday evening.

However, due to Mauricio Pochettino rotating his squad, Mourinho does not feel that United will possess any kind of benefit heading into the showdown in the Premier League.

The 54-year-old told reporters: "I don't think it makes an impact because my feeling is the majority of the players who played that match are not going to play tomorrow.

"Maybe I'm wrong but I think [Alexis] Sanchez, [Jan] Vertonghen, [Christian] Eriksen, [Serge] Aurier, [Harry] Winks, they had so many players not involved in the game or played just a few minutes that are going to play tomorrow so I don't think it has a real impact.

"Alli played but he didn't play against Real Madrid and I don't think it's a problem for them and they are a young, strong team, also physically, so I think they will be what they are, a very good team."

The two teams head into the match level on points in the standings, five adrift of leaders Manchester City.
