Tottenham defender Clement Lenglet says his team will aim to come fast out of the traps against Manchester United as Ryan Mason begins his second tenure in charge at the club.
The caretaker boss comes in for another interim spell after taking the helm for seven games in 2021 upon Jose Mourinho’s sacking. His eighth outing comes on Thursday against a United side who booked their place in the FA Cup final on Sunday.
United needed a semi-final penalty shoot-out win over Brighton to progress from the Wembley showpiece, with the victory meaning the Reds are on for a cup double after lifting the League Cup in February. Mason has managed in a League Cup final himself, having done so in his second game in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.

Tottenham go into this week’s midweek clash on the back of a 6-1 defeat to Newcastle which saw Cristian Stellini lose his interim job on Monday. Replacement Mason will be tasked with carrying Spurs for the rest of the season.
According to Lenglet, he is looking for a reaction from the off against United on home soil. Speaking to talkSPORT, he said of Sunday’s loss: “It was a difficult day, the defeat to Newcastle, but the way we lost the game, you’re always disappointed.
“After the statement from the club about Christian [Stellini], the last two, three days were tough. Now we need to push together in the same direction to fight against Manchester United and get the best result possible.
“We have a game against Man United and we need to prepare and be prepared for it, and ready to fight again and show a better face. We need to start the game strong, and push to achieve the best result possible.”
