Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham will be jetting off to Spain for a training camp after their Premier League clash with Manchester United.Spurs head to Old Trafford in Saturday’s late kick-off in desperate need of a result, following a winless start to the league season.Roberto De Zerbi is looking to build team unity in his new-look Spurs sideGettyRoberto De Zerbi‘s side are bottom of the table five games into the campaign, losing three times and drawing twice.Having had a three-week break since their last outing – a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa – the north Londoners return to action looking to turn over a new leaf against a United side facing pressure of their own.And regardless of the outcome of their Old Trafford showdown, Spurs won’t be staying in the UK to dwell on it for long.With nine days between the United clash and their next outing at home to Coventry on October 19, head coach De Zerbi is looking to maximise this window by taking his side away to Spain.Spurs set for the sunThe BBC reports that the Italian is hoping to kickstart their campaign with a training camp in Marbella, with the aim of building team unity after a huge summer overhaul.Spurs are also set to benefit from warm-weather training, with temperatures predicted to reach 25 degrees in southern Spain.Meanwhile, rain is scheduled in the club’s Enfield training base over the coming week, giving them a unique opportunity at this point in the season.Such trips are unusual this early into the season and even more so soon after the international break. English clubs usually search warmer weather in winter, especially with the introduction of breaks in recent years.And Spurs could look to treat their training camp as a second pre-season given their huge summer overhaul.Savio completed a £85million move to Spurs from Man City, but has yet to get off the mark in the Premier LeagueGettyThey splashed out over £300million on new recruits with 10 new arrivals, but have had little time to bed in these players. Savio, Tosin Adarabioyo, Mykhailo Mudryk and Omar Marmoush all arrived in the last week of the transfer window, meaning they have had little opportunity to gel.This hasn’t been helped by the extended three-week international break, with a number of players departing for national team duties.This proved a nervy period for Spurs, as they were were given injury scares over key players.Centre-back duo Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven both left the Netherlands’ camp early with respective injuries, but De Zerbi revealed both are fit to face United in a major boost.However, it remains to be seen whether Van Hecke will be in the starting line-up, with the Spurs boss revealing he recently welcomed newborn twins.Jan Paul van Hecke was one the first of Spurs’ big-money arrivals this summer when he joined in a £52m dealGettySpeaking at his pre-match press conference, he said: “They are available to play.“Micky played four games (for Holland), 90 minutes and JP [Van Hecke], the difference is this… JP, yesterday, his wife gave birth to twins, an emotional aspect we have to consider also, but both are available to play.”
