Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has taken a fresh shot at Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham.

Since Tottenham beat United 3-0 at Old Trafford, Pochettino's side have lost their last three games, while Mourinho's team have won theirs, to kickstart their season.

Against that backdrop, Mourinho was asked if he felt World Cup fatigue was a mental, rather than physical, issue and said: “I think it is.

“I think good results, good performances, they make miracles, and bad results and bad performances, they make you look more tired, more upset, more ugly, more everything.

“Football is a little bit like this. A team that yesterday looked very bad, today looks very good, and one that yesterday looked very good, today looks very bad. I think this is more the influence of the moment.

“I think Paul, he came from the World Cup, he was the last one to come back because he played the final, I think the happiness, the confidence, the self-esteem was what pushed him to play the first match against Leicester, almost without training, and he played a very good match.

“It's more about the moment and the momentum, like you like to call it, is very important in the positive and negative way."
