Manchester United further lost grip in the race for the top four on Sunday, with the defeat at White Hart Lane.
United conceded three goals in a space of six minutes, which was the main story of the evening.
The Manchester United manager has however blamed lack of communication for the first goal, and the psychology of the defenders for the other two goals.
The United gaffer also laid some blame on Martial's feet after the Frenchman missed a chance to put United ahead, before the Tottenham goals.
"Until the first goal, we were at least the equal team and the better chance was for us with Martial. It was a big chance, with a big space and a big time for him, but we gave the goal away with miscommunication and then you know what happened next.
"Within five minutes, we were out of the game.
Asked if the United defence failed to clear their minds after the first goal, he replied:
"You don’t clear your head and I think that is strongly expressed, because the second goal is a set-play and our best header (Smalling), or one of our best headers, lost his duel and it was a fantastic header from Alderweireld.
"But it is happening and it cannot happen. That is also what I said to him."
