Former Tottenham player Garth Crooks has lambasted Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho for his 'frightened' team selection on Saturday.

United sealed a late victory over Spurs in the day's early kick off at Old Trafford to remain five points behind arch rivals and Premier League leaders Manchester City.

But despite Anthony Martial's second-half winner securing a vital win, Crooks has questioned Mourinho's status as the 'Special One'.
