According to a report by the Evening Standard, Spurs will play Roma in Israel's Sammy Ofer Stadium, which has a capacity of 30,780, in their final friendly before the new season begins.

Jose Mourinho has not hidden his dislike for Tottenham Chairman, Daniel Levy after he was unceremoniously fired six days before Spur’s Carabao Cup final clash against Manchester City.

Tottenham remains the only one of Mourinho’s last eight clubs where he failed to win silverware despite spending 17 months in charge of the North London team.

According to the Daily Mirror, Mourinho cunningly threw a shade at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick after the managers failed to deliver any silverware at Manchester United.

Manchester United are yet to win a single trophy since the Portuguese manager guided the Red Devils to the Europa League trophy in 2017.
