Jose Mourinho returns to Old Trafford as the new Tottenham Hotspur manager to take on Manchester United. It was widely reported that Mauricio Pochettino is tipped to be next Manchester United boss, in case Manchester poor form continues.
Mourinho was sacked last December, and it will be a little under a year to the day that the Special One heads back to the Theatre of Dreams to prove his worth once again.
Tottenham have enjoyed the boost under new manager with three wins out of three under Mourinho. They are now at 5th spot in the league table, nine notch up in the league table than where they were two weeks and two match before.
