Tottenham look relaxed as they trained ahead of Sunday's emotional White Hart Lane farewell match against Manchester United.

Spurs are preparing to say goodbye to their home of 118 years on Sunday, with Jose Mourinho's United the final visitors before Mauricio Pochettino's side move to Wembley for the 2017/18 season as work on their new stadium gathers pace.

The north London club hope to move into their new 61,559-seat ground - a project costing about £800million - during the 2018/19 campaign.

While the day will be about celebrating Spurs' rich history in north London, Pochettino can set a proud new record if his side avoid defeat against United.

Should Spurs win or draw, they will complete their final season at the Lane without being beaten at the ground.

There were few nerves on show at Spurs' training ground on Saturday, with the likes of Dele Alli and Kieran Trippier in high spirits as Pochettino put his side through their paces.

Danny Rose returned to training for Spurs earlier this week after being out of action since early February with a knee injury, but will not be risked against United - especially given that Chelsea ended the title race on Friday night with a with at West Brom.
