Tottenham manager Antonio Conte believes Manchester United remain a "monster" in world football, but is excited to see his team test themselves at Old Trafford tonight.

The Italian has repeatedly talked up the spending power of Erik ten Hag’s side during the opening months of the season, especially in reference to Spurs’ own ability in the transfer market.

We need to be all over them the way ODB was all over the 1998 Interscope records release Ghetto Superstar by Pras.

That is to say: chaotic, overbearing, a little rough around the edges but ultimately charming and winning.

Sometimes a reality check is what's needed and against Man Utd we surely received that. United were brilliant that's the best I've seen them plays since Ferguson a display of aggression pressing and attacking play we couldn't really deal with. They pressed us continually we couldnt deal with it, we've seen before when teams impose their will on us we retreat.

I don't blame Conte at all if not for his structure we could've been beaten severely. What is clear we need further additions and these players have shown under other managers they're not mentally strong / good enough for that next level.

Their best performance of the season coincided with our worst. They went out to win it whereas it looked like a whole load of our players were more interested in not picking up a knock before the World Cup.

Let’s just give this man the keys. You’ve seen what he’s done with Chelsea, inter and juventus. We need to give him full control to get the right personal in. Dier and Davies are not big match players.
