Ryan Mason is expecting a reaction from Tottenham’s players to their 6-1 defeat against Newcastle when they face Manchester United on Thursday, with the caretaker manager insisting he can help steady the ship after stepping in to replace Cristian Stellini after his sacking from the same role.
Mason has resumed the role he filled two years ago following José Mourinho’s sacking as the manager, prior to Spurs’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City. That made the then 29-year-old the youngest manager in Premier League history. He went on to win four of six league games in charge.
