Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jose Mourinho have traded verbal blows in the build-up to Manchester United's clash with Tottenham.

Solskjaer warned against provocation from Mourinho's team and claimed Anthony Martial was 'conned' by Erik Lamela into getting sent off when Spurs thrashed United 6-1 at Old Trafford in October.

Mourinho then hit back at a comment by Solskjaer last month that 'trophies are for egos' with a reminder that former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson thought otherwise.
