Pundit Gary Neville has admitted his concerns about Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho.

Spurs faced a huge game against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, and did take the lead as Son Heung-min opened the scoring.

However, that’s as good as it got for Spurs as Fred equalised before Edinson Cavani headed the Red Devils in front.

Mason Greenwood fired home a third for United to seal all three points, and leave Tottenham’s top four dreams in tatters.

Chelsea, West Ham United and Liverpool all won this weekend, meaning Tottenham’s Champions League chances are looking very slim.

Sunday’s defeat will leave fans questioning Mourinho’s position as Tottenham manager, as Spurs have taken just four points in their last four games.

Now, pundit Neville – speaking on his own podcast – has admitted that he was looking at Mourinho on the sidelines towards the end of the game, and felt Mourinho didn’t look ‘invigorated’.

Neville felt there was ‘blankness’ on Mourinho’s face, and is very worried that he just isn’t engaged in the job right now.

“I have to say, we saw shots of him in the last five or six minutes of that match, on the touchline… it didn’t look like an invigorated Jose Mourinho that was demanding his team go forward or driving his team forward.”

“I looked at him in that last five or ten minutes, and there was an element of blankness on his face, where I just thought… he doesn’t look like he’s engaged there, and that would be a worry,” he added.
