Pochettino doesn't expect settling in period at Spurs

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino doesn't expect any settling in period at White Hart Lane.

Louis van Gaal claims it will take him at least three months to get Manchester United into shape, but Pochettino has waived his right to a bedding in period, knowing he must hit the ground running.

"I don't demand time, only to work hard every day, to build, to improve every player in the squad," he said.

"Always in football, the result manages your career and the decisions, because we need to win.

"This is our job, not only to provide your philosophy to the team and your style - you need to win, this is the first objective.

"We understand that football is in the present, it is difficult to take time. We need to improve and learn quickly, for sure."
