Interim Tottenham manager Ryan Mason says he expects a "reaction" from his players following Sunday's 6-1 Premier League defeat by Newcastle United.
Christian Stellini, who was also interim boss, was sacked on Monday and Mason appointed for a second time.
Fifth-placed Spurs host fourth-placed Manchester United on Thursday aiming to avoid a third successive league defeat.
"Thursday is a really big game. The focus is to fully prepare for that," said 31-year-old Mason.
"Sunday was disappointing, so I would hope and expect a reaction from the players and everyone in this building."
