Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has provided a fitness update prior to their meeting with Tottenham Hotspur. The Portuguese boss has confirmed new signing Diogo Dalot is training with the first team and has been going through rigorous training to make himself available as soon as possible.
United had the worst possible start to this season as they narrowly edged out Leicester City 2-1 in their opening game and suffered a humiliating defeat at the hand of Brighton & Hove Albion in the following match. On the back of a disappointing transfer window, Mourinho has been felling the heat for sometime and a win on Monday would provide him some breathing space.
Nemanja Matic, Antonio Valencia and Alexis Sanchez missed the last match due to injuries and it remains to be seen whether any of them feature on Monday. On being asked if the players could be available for selection the gaffer answered, “I don’t know because today is still Friday and we are training on Saturday and Sunday, and the match is on Monday.
“Decisions to be made on Sunday but yes, they are training with the team. Dalot is also training with the team for the first time this week, so in terms of the medical department, they are almost free.”
