Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho does not think his Manchester United replacement Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will use the 6-1 defeat in October’s reverse fixture as a source of motivation for this Sunday’s meeting.

Spurs dished out United’s joint heaviest Premier League defeat at Old Trafford thanks to a fine attacking display and a defensive horror show as Mourinho’s men ran riot.

That defeat served as something as a wake-up call for Solskjaer’s side as they kick-started their campaign and are now primed to finish runners-up behind local rivals Manchester City.

“We are going to try and win the match. It is the only thing that I can say.

“It is very difficult for many reasons but that record is not going to stop us to think we can win and it is not going to stop us to fight to win.

“Then at the end of the match maybe the result is different and their record becomes even better, but it is not the record that is going to stop us going into the game thinking we can win it.”

Spurs are without Matt Doherty (muscle) for the game while Ben Davies is sidelined with an ankle problem.
