Mauricio Pochettino hints at changes for Manchester United match

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino suggests that he will make changes to his side for their Premier League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has hinted that he will make changes for this evening's Premier League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Spurs deployed a 4-3-2-1 formation during their opening match of the season away to Newcastle United, but switched to three at the back for last weekend's win over Fulham as Toby Alderweireld was among those brought back into the team.

The Belgian was heavily linked with a summer move to United amid an ongoing contract dispute, and Pochettino hinted that further changes could be in store as he looks to ease the players who reached the latter stages of the World Cup back into domestic duty.

"Like always, my decisions are my decisions, and sometimes it's difficult for the people to understand, and of course for journalists, it's not easy. But I consider that the starting XI against Fulham was the best starting XI to win the game. Like I am going to consider for the next game, the best starting XI and maybe make a few changes too," Pochettino told reporters.

"This season is a challenge, a completely different challenge for us, because it's only three weeks, that the players arrive from the World Cup and are in training. Always you need six or seven weeks to start to compete in a normal season, that is why sometimes you need to be careful how they react after the effort of 90 minutes.

"Sure I am going to do some changes, some names, sometimes I keep this formation, or we are going to play with different formation."

Pochettino must also decide whether to start first-choice goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris, who was arrested and charged with drink driving on Friday.
