Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino apologised to Manchester United for tough tackling by his players during their 2‑1 pre‑season defeat in Shanghai.

Moussa Sissoko could have been sent off for a challenge on Daniel James, which drew an angry response from United midfielder Scott McTominay and left the former Swansea winger in a heap while players argued among themselves in a heated tussle.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer played down any suggestion he might be unhappy with the treatment his players received in what was supposed to be a "friendly" match, which formed part of the International Champions Cup.
