Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld has issues a warning ahead of this weekend’s clash with Manchester United.

The centre-back is likely to start for Spurs at Wembley against United on Sunday.

United are back in form, winning five out of their last five games, but Tottenham are in a very good moment too.

Spurs are coming off a strong month and sit just six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.

A win over Chelsea this week put them 1-0 up in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

Alderweireld has warned that Tottenham are now relishing playing against the big teams, and believe they can get even better.

He told The Independent: “We have a hungry group who wants to play well and beat big teams. We want to do something special and that is normal.

“That desire is what you can see on the pitch. You see it every season we are out there. There is still some room to improve, though.”

Spurs have won big matches against Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Chelsea this season, but fallen short against Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal in the Premier League.
