Tottenham defender Vertonghen has hailed Mourinho as a great manager but has insisted that his mind games would not work on SPurs’ players ahead of the high profile Premier League game this weekend.
Manchester United would be facing Spurs as they go into the game under tremendous pressure to clinch all three points after their disappointing results in the league off late.
“He is a good manager … he says things in the media but it doesn’t really affect us. It’s part of the job and he plays it the way he wants to,” Vertonghen said.
“He is a great coach first of all, done great things with different teams. He has shown he is a very good coach and a colourful character, but football needs that.”
