Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen insists they're not bothered about their slow start to the season.

Both Manchester clubs have been buried under an avalanche of praise after impressive starts to the season.

But with Spurs settling into Wembley and the likes of Victor Wanyama and Danny Rose still to come back from injury, Vertonghen remains unruffled.

“We've played five games," he smiled. “They still have to go to the most difficult places and we still have to. They [City] started very well last season [and ended up fourth].

“Obviously, there are a couple of teams that have started well now, but I feel that we will get stronger. We are still missing a couple of guys. When they come back, we'll be at our best then in different competitions.

“Because we're a young team, it's important for us to stay together and we've done that, apart from one or two guys. I think this team wants to stay together. Because we're young, we learn from each other. We learn every day and I think we only can get better."
