updates:

Ange Postecoglou has revealed what Son Heung-min said after being subbed off with a knock against Qarabag.

Tottenham made a slow start to the new season but they have picked up the pace in recent weeks. They have won each of their last three outings in all competitions and will be looking to make it four wins in a row when they hit the road to square up against Manchester United at the iconic Old Trafford.

While they will be heading into this fixture in fine form, the availability of Son Heung-min is a major doubt after the Tottenham skipper was subbed off in their game against Qarabag. He picked up a knock around the 70th-minute mark and had to come off. Son looked in quite discomfort as he gingerly walked off the pitch. Ange Postecoglou has now revealed what the South Korean international said to him on his way to the bench.

While speaking on football.london, the Australian manager said: “He said he was a bit tired but I haven’t spoken to him or the medical staff yet.”

Despite being down to 10 men quite early in the game as Radu Dragusin was sent off, Spurs did manage to get the desired result. However, the fact that Son has picked up a knock is a major concern for the fans. The 32-year-old is their mainstay and Postecoglou would want to have his star forward available for the game against rivals Manchester United.

The former Celtic boss’ comments suggest it isn’t anything serious but one can only be certain once further updates arrive in the next hours following a test carried out by the club’s medical staff.

Why Postecoglou’s relationship with some Spurs fans is wobbling

The mood at Tottenham Hotspur has changed dramatically within a year.
At the start of his tenure last season, new manager Ange Postecoglou started his reign by going on a 10-game unbeaten run built around his progressive style of play after the troubled spells of Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
Twelve months on, discontent is bubbling to the surface in north London as sections of the fanbase increasingly lose patience with the Australian.
Just one win in the first four league games, including a 1-0 defeat by rivals Arsenal, has led to Postecoglou being criticised by some supporters in the build-up to Saturday’s home game against Brentford (15:00 BST).

In midweek there were boos at the manager’s decision to substitute teenage midfielder Lucas Bergvall in a fortunate 2-1 win at Coventry City in the EFL Cup amid an increasingly negative conversation around the club on social media.
Real change unsettles people – Postecoglou
At Friday’s news conference, Postecoglou joked ironically about having a cake made for him when asked about becoming the first manager to last a full 38-game season at Spurs since Mauricio Pochettino in the 2018-19 campaign.
“It [the negativity] doesn’t seep into my environment,” he said. “The fans are free to feel how they want to feel and it doesn’t impact me or what we are trying to achieve.
“If you’re swimming against the tide, that’s all right. That makes you stronger. I think a big part of it [is change], when there is real change it unsettles people and they want comfort and security, but I came in here to try to do something that hasn’t been done for a while.
“You can’t just think me walking in will change things, you’ve got to change things and it can be unsettling but it is necessary for us to achieve what we want to.”
Top of some metrics – but not the important one
After picking up 26 points from his first 10 games – the most accrued by a new manager in their first 10 games in Premier League history – Postecoglou’s Tottenham have won just 44 points in the 32 fixtures since then.
He lost seven of his 11 league games from 13 April to 20 September.
During that run, only Wolves suffered more league defeats, with eight.
Their four points from four games to start this season is their lowest since 2015-16 (3). Spurs have not lost three of their opening five games since 2008-09 under Juande Ramos.
Since the beginning of last season, Spurs (26) have conceded more Premier League goals from set-pieces than any other team.
However, Tottenham have forced the most high turnovers in the Premier League this season (47) and have the best pressing metric in the league – as their opponents manage just 6.2 passes on average before Spurs win the ball back.
They have also enjoyed the most possession (67.8%) and allowed their opponents to complete just 795 passes so far, 301 fewer than any other side.
