The Portuguese manager came under heavy fire with cries of "We want Nuno out" heard around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And tensions boiled over after the full-time whistle with rows breaking out between supporters.

Fans' rage led some to be broken up by stewards on a toxic night in N17.

One supporter even approached the press box after the match to ask journalists if Nuno had been sacked yet, according to .

Spurs failed to record a shot on target against United - and managed just two against West Ham and one against Vitesse in recent games.

Nuno has only been in charge since the summer but has overseen embarrassing defeats against Pacos Ferreira and Vitesse in the Europa Conference League.

And the fact he was the last resort for Daniel Levy after failing to land other managerial targets means he has been under pressure from the very beginning.

But Spurs have been in turmoil since Jose Mourinho left.

Along with Levy being unable to attract his favoured manager, Harry Kane's future continues to hang over the club.

The striker has endured a torrid time on the pitch with just one league goal all season.

Kane's stats are down in every department this campaign and he is not being helped by the manager's counter-attacking style.
