Premier League: see why Tottenham manager will be sacked after loss to Manchester United

Former Wolves manager Nuno Espírito Santo was appointed as Tottenham boss at the beginning of the season to take over from interim manager Ryan Mason who replaced Mourinho who was sacked in March.

Santo started well with Tottenham winning their first three matches in August with 1-0 margins and was named Premier League manager for August but immediately went into disaster losing by a total of 9-1 to London rivals Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Tottenham currently sit eight on the league table with just 15 points from 10 matches, having won five and lost five games. He has lost his last two games against West Ham and Manchester United, with yesterday's loss to Manchester United appearing to be the final nail in the coffin.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and sporting director Fabricio Patrici are reportedly in a meeting to decide his future and all indications say he could be sacked. He was not Tottenham's first choice but they hired him after Antonio Conte turned them down.
