Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho expects a "very difficult" test when Tottenham visit Old Trafford this weekend reports Sky Sports.

When asked about the game, Mourinho said: "It will be very difficult. They are a very good team.

"They are the first team we have played in a few weeks that will try to divide the control of the match with us. The others had to clearly accept out dominance, but that is not Tottenham's style.

"They play really well. They try to be dominant. I think they played a phenomenal first half against Chelsea. This is Tottenham - they are a very good team."

Mourinho also expressed his admiration for his opposite number Mauricio Pochettino.

"He is a very good coach and he knows what he wants," Mourinho said. "He has been building the team for a couple of years now.

"A good manager with good players normally makes a good team."
