Tottenham are considering Nuno Espirito Santo’s position after only four months in charge.
The Portuguese’s job is understood to be under threat after Saturday’s damaging 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United, when sections of the crowd chanted ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ and roundly booed at the full-time whistle.
Chairman Daniel Levy and managing director of football Fabio Paratici are understood to have met on Sunday to discuss the 47-year-old’s fate.

Nuno was appointed as Jose Mourinho’s successor on June 30 after a farcical managerial search which saw Spurs go through a number of candidates.
They settled on Nuno, having previously rejected him due to his playing style, with Paratici convincing Levy that he could fit the bill.
Levy had said he would appoint a head coach who would play “attacking, free-flowing and entertaining” football in the wake of Mourinho’s dour spell, but that has not proved to be the case.

Nuno has lost five of his 10 Premier League games and have been poor to watch.
