Tottenham press conference live: Antonio Conte on defeat at Manchester United and late subs

 he Tottenham Hotspur boss is speaking to reporters following the defeat against Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday.


Antonio Conte is holding his press conference after Tottenham's 2-0 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.

The Spurs boss made one change to his side for the match, Yves Bissouma coming in for the injured Richarlison to switch the formation to a 3-5-2 from the usual 3-4-3 under Conte. The home side had former Tottenham midfield Christian Eriksen back on the bench after illness as he took his place among the substitutes with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hugo Lloris was all that stood between United and a goal in the first half as he pulled off save after save in the Spurs goalmouth to deny Antony, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Bruno Fernandes and others.

In the end it was a deflected Fred shot that beat the Frenchman minutes into the second half, the ball hitting Ben Davies' leg and diverting into the bottom left corner.

Spurs huffed and puffed but couldn't find a goal back before Fernandes curled home a second goal for the hosts midway through the second half and that proved to be the killer in a second half that brought further Lloris heroics.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Conte after the match. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at Old Trafford.
