Mauricio Pochettino optimistic over Hugo Lloris start at Manchester United

Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he has a "good feeling" over Hugo Lloris's chances to start Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League opener at Manchester United.

The French goalkeeper suffered a wrist injury in the 2-0 Audi Cup win over AC Milan earlier this week to plunge his participation tomorrow into doubt.

However, the Argentine says that he, along with midfielder Ryan Mason, could shake off their respective knocks in time for the trip to Old Trafford.

"We have a good feeling for Hugo and Ryan, maybe not to compete for 90 minutes, but to be in the squad," he told a press conference.

"[Roberto] Soldado didn't play in the Audi Cup because of a problem in his lower back, Andros Townsend also has a problem in his shoulder.

"We need to assess them in the last training session today."

Kickoff tomorrow is scheduled for 12.45pm.
