<p>Vertonghen did not get any minutes on the pitch during Anderlecht's 3-0 loss to Fenerbahce in the Europa League play-off match, but he did get a hug from his former manager Mourinho. The 'Special One' was in charge of the Belgian veteran during his Tottenham days and the pair clearly still share a close relationship following their warm moment on the sideline.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking on the moment after the game, Mourinho said: "Jan is still one of my boys. That will always be the case. The way he is as a footballer, but also as a person. I love that. I will cherish his shirt."</p>

WHAT MOURINHO SAID

<p>Although Mourinho is another manager who tried and failed to win silverware at Spurs, there is still a clear respect present between him and ex-players, even if the former Chelsea boss' tenure ended in flames.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Vertonghen will be hoping to have more of a role in the return leg in Belgium. Fenerbahce head across Europe with a three-goal buffer going into the return leg.</p>
