Tottenham gear up for Man Utd showdown with first 11-a-side sessions since lockdown and Harry Kane is looking sharp

TOTTENHAM stepped up their preparations for their clash with Manchester United with a series of 11 v 11 practice matches for the first time since returning to training.
Jose Mourinho is getting his squad in shape for their big match against United on June 19 which could be pivotal in the battle for a top four finish.
Mourinho's players trained on the pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since the lockdown came into force back in March - in an attempt to get them used to playing without fans.
The squad took part in a string of short practice matches as they began the process of trying to build up the match sharpness they will need for Project Restart.
Captain Harry Kane is understood to have looked sharp as he continues his comeback from the hamstring injury which had threatened to end his season before the Covid-19 crisis struck.
Kane played a full part in the session before heading to Hertfordshire to take part in the Paddy Power pro-am golf shootout.

Dele Alli and Eric Dier were both in action as they continue their wait to learn whether they will be hit with bans from the FA over
separate misconduct charges.
Other players who had been injured when the season was halted - Son Heung-min, Moussa Sissoko and Steven Bergwijn - also came through the session well.
It means Mourinho is likely to have a far stronger squad of players available to him for the run-in to the campaign than the injury-hit group he was left with in March.
