Harry Kane: 'Manchester United made life tough for us'

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane says that his side must learn to adapt after being forced to hit balls long in the defeat to Manchester United.

Harry Kane has admitted that Tottenham Hotspur struggled to cope with Manchester United's high press in Sunday's Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils claimed a 1-0 victory thanks to Henrikh Mkhitaryan's goal on the half-hour mark, leaving Spurs three points adrift of the top four and a further seven off top spot.

Kane believes that Tottenham must now go back to the drawing board and come up with some fresh attacking ideas of their own if they are to truly kickstart a season that has yet to live up to expectations, with strugglers Hull City up next on Wednesday night.

"Manchester United made it difficult for us to play out from the back," he is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard. "They made us play more long balls that we are used to playing. That was their gameplan, and it worked.

"All we can do is keep working on our game in training, working on different scenarios, and hopefully it will pay off. We have to keep fighting [in the title race]. We have no other option."

Spurs, who also recently crashed out of the Champions League at the group stage, have won just two of their last eight league outings.
