William Gallas believes there is 'too much damage' in Tottenham squad for Ryan Mason to succeed

William Gallas believes that there is 'too much damage' in Tottenham's squad for new acting head coach Ryan Mason to turn things around against Manchester United.

Following the embarrassing 6-1 defeat at Newcastle United, which brought five goals in the first 21 minutes, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy decided to sack interim boss Cristian Stellini just four matches after he replaced Antonio Conte, a man Stellini had worked with on and off, and known, for decades.

Levy again turned to Mason, as he did when he sacked Jose Mourinho in 2021. The young coach was then 29-years-old and won four of his six Premier League games in charge. Now 31, the former Spurs midfielder must take on a tougher set of fixtures which begin on Thursday with the visit of Manchester United and then a trip on Sunday to Liverpool.
