Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho identified weaknesses at fullback for Manchester United ahead of Sunday's 6-1 win at Old Trafford.

The Manchester Evening News says Tottenham full-backs Serge Aurier and Sergio Reguilon were tasked with pressing high as their counterparts Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw were not protected by Mason Greenwood or Marcus Rashford.

Spurs insiders felt Aurier and Reguilon 'killed' United 'because Greenwood and Rashford don't defend' and Aurier scored Spurs's fifth early in the second-half.

Two of Tottenham's goals came down Shaw's side and Mourinho pinpointed Shaw's tendency to abandon his station as a pundit at Old Trafford in August last year.

"Chelsea moves the ball well but they don't look for an overlap a lot," Mourinho said during the interval of United's 4-0 victory over Chelsea. "When they do, Maguire is the one that has to jump on the outside as United's midfield players are not defending in the box.

"When Maguire has to cover for Luke Shaw - he will learn he has to do this a lot of times during the season - the space in the face of the ball, somebody has to arrive."
