Tottenham have been dealt a massive blow ahead of their mouthwatering Premier League clash against Manchester United this weekend, with Harry Kane ruled out due to a hamstring strain.

Spurs' Twitter account revealed the news on Friday morning in a setback for the north Londonside's preparations as they look to move above United into second place.

'TEAM NEWS: @HKane underwent assessment and investigation earlier this week, which confirmed a minor strain to the left hamstring,' they reported.

Tough break for Tottenham. I was really hoping they'd put Mourinho out of his misery

Not pretty, but that was an enjoyable first half. Lots of physical play. Herrera and Mkhitaryan need to step up for Man U to have a chance. Lukaku and Rashford have been non-existent so far, because of them.
