Boss Poch said, "I apologize to United on behalf of our players.
"Some situations have pissed me off. It was a friendly match and I was not happy.
"When it's hot and you're tired, you sometimes arrive late and something can happen.
"I was worried because in this period of preparation, you sometimes have to be aggressive and play with pbadion.
"But sometimes, the goal is to develop your fitness and develop the way you want to play."
Sissoko could have been sent off after leaving his former winger James in Swansea, while Dele Alli was also engaged following two difficult challenges.
& # 39; GOOD PREPARATION & # 39;
However, the boss of United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has nothing to complain about.
The Norwegian said: "It's a competitive sport and that's why we have referees.
"It was a very good preparation for the Premier League.
"You do not want to play football, you want to attack and I have no qualms about putting some of the tackles on it.
"We also gave it, it was a very good match."
Forward Angel Gomes, 18, defeated the winner after Lucas Moura canceled Anthony Martial's first match for United.
Toby Alderweireld is expected to stay at the Spurs after the expiry of the £ 25m release clause from the defender's contract.
But Poch said, "I have nothing to say about it, I will work with the players that the club will provide us at the end of the transfer market and try to help them improve."
Former Tottenham striker DARREN BENT confirmed that he had retired at the age of 35.
Bent, who has been without a club since last summer, has scored 216 goals in 568 games in 18 years and has won England 13 caps for 4 goals.
