Report: Mauricio Pochettino to start Hugo Lloris against Manchester United

Mauricio Pochettino will reportedly select Hugo Lloris in goal for Tottenham Hotspur's meting with Manchester United, despite the goalkeeper's drink-driving charge.

The 31-year-old was forced to publicly apologise on Friday after being arrested and charged for the offence, three days before Spurs travel to Old Trafford.

Lloris missed Tottenham's final full training session and was seen as doubtful for Monday's clash, potentially giving Michel Vorm a rare chance to impress.

According to the Daily Mail, however, the French World Cup-winning skipper will still be used from the off against United.

Pochettino is well known for his ruthless nature, but the report indicates that the Spurs boss has a close relationship with his captain and will instead let the club carry out its own internal disciplinary process, likely meaning a hefty fine.
