A screenshot of the tweet has floated about on various social media platforms, reading: "Surely I can't be the only one who thinks Mourinho is overrated and too cocky… it just makes you look like a bad manager, I'm glad I'll never have to work with him."

It was later revealed that the tweet was indeed fake, but that did not stop the banter brigade on Twitter, with one of them even jokingly saying it was Paul Pogba who sent the tweet from Alli's phone!

Dele Alli must have had special talent. He was able to use more than 140 characters on Twitter in 2012. Hail to the cheat - selling this as a real tweet. pic.twitter.com/HvvteWLNXc
Do you think Mourinho will be a success with Spurs?
