Manchester United vs Tottenham: Iconic moments from past fixtures at Old Trafford

Jose Mourinho's celebration after the final whistle

Jose Mourinho's shush gesture after his side's 1-0 victory last season

Jose Mourinho is no stranger to controversy with the former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager making the headlines thanks to his dramatic celebrations and his feuds with rival managers. In the lead up to last season's fixture against Tottenham, Mourinho came under fire for his defensive and overly-pragmatic approach to games; a point that critics raised after United's match against Liverpool two weeks earlier.

Manchester United's approach from the start involved frustrating Liverpool and hoping for any opportunities on the counter. Liverpool, therefore, dominated the game with 19 shots compared to United six, with only one of the Red Devils' shots hitting the target. Jose's attitude contrasted vividly with the style adopted by Sir Alex who famously said, " I've never played for a draw in my life".

Two weeks later, Jose Mourinho did silence his critics, as United won 1-0 thanks to Anthony Martial's tidy finish in the 81st minute. Jose celebrated by shushing to the camera in response to those who doubted him. This celebration reminded many of his touchline antics against Liverpool in the 2005 League Cup final, where he goaded the crowd by shushing at them after a Steven Gerrard own-goal.
