Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen is full of praise for Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

United go to Spurs on Sunday.

"He is a great coach first of all, and he has done great things with different teams," the Belgian said, as reported by FourFourTwo.

"He has shown he is a very good coach and a colourful character – but football needs that.

"He is a good manager and he says things in the media. Does that wind me up? Not really. It's part of the job and he plays it the way he wants to.

"Would I want to play for him? He's not my manager so I'm not going to talk about this."
