Spurs uploaded images on Instagram showing their manager, wearing PPE, carrying boxes of spinach and rhubarb away from their training ground Hotspur Way, where the first-team's food is produced.

The caption of the post reads: "@josemourinho has made the first of his weekly deliveries of fresh produce from the Kitchen Garden at our Training Centre to the food distribution hub at @tottenhamhotspurstadium.

"This will now be distributed by @haringeycouncil to those most in-need within our local community."

Tottenham have been receiving deliveries from the club's Kitchen Garden - which is located at their training ground - before donating it to local communities.

The Tottenham Hotspur stadium is currently being used as a hub for the NHS as well for food distribution as the Premier League side continue to work with the Haringey council, who decide where the donations are distributed.

Mourinho was last month praised for helping deliver essential food to the elderly stuck indoors.

The 57-year-old was helping out Age UK and Love Your Doorstep in Enfield, North London.

But just two weeks later Mourinho faced a police warning after conducting a training with Tottenham stars in a London park, despite the strict lockdown rules.

An online video showed Davinson Sanchez and Ryan Sessegnon jogging around the same park much closer together than the government's recommended two metres apart.

To make matters worse duo Serge Aurier and Moussa Sissoko also broke coronavirus guidelines just a fortnight after Tottenham bosses were forced to remind their staff about Covid-19 safety guidelines.

A club spokesperson said: "All of our players have been reminded to respect social distancing when exercising outdoors. We shall continue to reinforce this message."
