Moussa Sissoko has channeled his inner Mauricio Pochettino as he gave a glimpse of the Premier League-winning Tottenham Hotspur side he had selected in the computer game Football Manager.

The Spurs midfielder was unwinding after returning from Dortmund and playing a brief cameo role from the bench in the 2-1 Champions League victory.

In an Instagram Story he showed himself playing the handheld version of Football Manager 2018 at home on Wednesday night. While he moves his phone quickly in the short video, you can just about make out most of the players Sissoko has selected.

The France international has made some slightly different decisions to what Pochettino might in the one match he's shown playing. The headline team news is there's no Harry Kane, with his team appearing to have no striker with Mousa Dembele playing as the most attacking midfielder in a 'false nine role'.

Perhaps he was suffering from an injury crisis up front for this particular match or maybe Sissoko just thinks playing with more midfielders gives him a better chance to start games.

In the shot below you can see his close friends at Tottenham, Serge Aurier and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou both appear to start as does Sissoko himself. It's certainly more game time than Nkoudou has got in reality this season.

Victor Wanyama plays behind Christian Eriksen in midfield while skillful Spurs academy player Marcus Edwards makes it on to his bench with Kyle Walker-Peters and Erik Lamela.

The bench is also filled with players he's signed, including teenage Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont, young Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Jonathan Tah and Wolfsburg midfielder Yannick Gerhardt.

It's difficult to make out his defence, other than what looks like Aurier on the right, while the other central midfielder looks to be someone with a short name - possibly Eric Dier or Dele Alli.

One thing is clear though, Sissoko has found the winning formula as he later posted this photo on Instagram showing that his team had won the Premier League.

Perhaps Pochettino might turn to his midfielder for some advice on winning the title? We think that might be unlikely.
