Roy Keane has poked fun at Tottenham’s current situation in response to a question posed by fellow Man United legend, Wayne Rooney.
While this season has been an extremely difficult one for Tottenham fans, players and staff, it is clear that many opposition fans are enjoying seeing the Lilywhites in their current predicament.
Many of them will undoubtedly be hoping that Spurs go down for the first time in 48 years, and that is what Roberto De Zerbi has been bought in to avoid.
The Italian will be hoping to get an instant reaction from the squad, which has looked devoid of confidence for the past few months.
Roy Keane aims relegation dig at Tottenham while discussing their stadium
The topic of the best stadiums in the Premier League was discussed on The Overlap this week, with Tottenham’s home ground getting a mention.
However, Roy Keane did not waste the opportunity to point out that the stadium could be holding Championship matches next season.
When asked what his favourite stadium in the Premier League is, Keane said: “I’d be thinking straight away; Old Trafford, Highbury and Anfield. As a player, playing there.”
Wayne Rooney then suggested that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium must be the best in the country, to which Keane said: “It’ll be in the Championship next season.”
Roberto De Zerbi has been warned ahead of the relegation battle at Spurs
As the Italian prepares for his first game in charge of the North London club, he has already been given some strong advice from two English managers who are extremely experienced in relegation battles.
Sean Dyche has told De Zerbi to focus on getting Tottenham strong, fit and organised if he wants to keep them up.
Meanwhile, Tony Pulis has told De Zerbi to prioritise finding the leaders in the Spurs squad, suggesting that the new Tottenham boss needs the players to take responsibility on the pitch in order to avoid relegation.
