'It's a privilege to manage this great club': Ryan Mason breaks his silence after being appointed interim Tottenham boss and insists he is 'ready for the challenge' having already taken charge of training ahead of Man United clash

Ryan Mason has broken his silence after being appointed interim Tottenham manager, having already taken training on Tuesday ahead of the club's clash with Manchester United on Wednesday.

The former midfielder was appointed interim manager of Spurs in the wake of Cristian Stellini's sacking following a 6-1 humbling at Newcastle at the weekend.

The north London outfit were blown out of the water by Newcastle in a blistering 21 minutes that saw them ship five goals, before finishing the game 6-1 down in a bitter blow to their top-four hopes.
