Tottenham defender Van de Ven: We played a good game for Man Utd draw

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven says they can be happy after their 2-2 draw at Manchester United.

Spurs had to come from behind twice, but were the better team on the night.

Van de Ven said: "I think we played a good game, we had a lot of the ball. Man United are dangerous on the counter attacks. I think it was a good game from our side.

On being back in team: "It's great to be back and I enjoyed it. I had cramp at the end. It was just cramp and the cold. You saw the intensity of the game. I didn't play for two and a half months.

"We have to be aware of the counter attack. We knew they would wait for our mistakes because we want to play."

On Timo Werner's debut, he added: "I played against him already with Leipzig and I know he has a lot of pace. He can be really important for us."
