Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino apologised to Manchester United for tough tackling by his players during their 2-1 pre-season defeat in Shanghai.
ANTHONY MARTIAL and Angel Gomes scored either side of half-time to maintain Manchester United’s perfect pre-season record as they beat Tottenham in the International Champions Cup at the Hongkou Stadium in Shanghai. See how the action unfolded with Express Sport.
Moussa Sissoko could have been sent off for a challenge on Daniel James, which drew an angry response from United midfielder Scott McTominay and left the former Swansea winger in a heap while players argued among themselves in a heated tussle.
“I apologise to Manchester United on behalf of our players,” said Pochettino, who also saw Dele Alli booked following two heavy challenges, along with United’s Andreas Pereira.
