Sir Alex Ferguson has stated his support of Martin Jol in his position as Tottenham Manager following all of the media speculation surrounding the Dutchman’s position.

All week there have been innumerate reports in the press linking Europe’s elite managers with the managers job at White Hart Lane. Many of the reports have stated that Jol is under pressure following another poor start to the Premier League. Members of the Spurs board are alledged to have met with Sevilla coach Juande Ramos about bringing him to the Lane. A move it seems will not happen this summer, however next summer the Spaniard will be free from his commitment to Sevilla. Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has been linked to the role as has ex-Spurs Striker and Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Jol takes his Spurs side to Old Trafford at the end of his most turbulent week in charge of the Londoners, to play a Manchester United team who have yet to win a game this season. Some points from the fixture would give him some welcome relief from the media onslaught and put the focus on Sir Alex.

United are without captain Gary Neville, Rooney and Ronaldo for the game on Super Sunday, however they may be able to play Louis Saha for the first time this season to help ease their striker crisis. Spurs could play Gareth Bale for the first time in the Premier League and will hope that Robbie Keane can turn his surefire shooting for his country in to goals for his club.
