Roy Keane delivers brutal Tottenham dig
Manchester United were comfortable winners on Wednesday evening as Antonio Conte's side were beaten 2-0 through goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes. But despite the Red Devils sweeping up the plaudits for their performance, Keane was questioned the difficulty of defeating Spurs.
"Everybody’s talking United beating Spurs, best performance in years, rubbish, Tottenham were terrible," he said.
"Man United managed to beat Tottenham last year, I think Ronaldo got a hat-trick, he’s more than capable of coming on and making a difference."

Fabio Paratici set to 'fight' Premier League rivals for £26m Juventus star
Fabio Paratici is again interested in Juventus star Weston McKennie as a target to improve Tottenham Hotspur.
The American ace has been on Spurs’ shortlist for the past two years, according to Calciomercato. The report suggests Paratici will now drive Spurs’ attempt to sign McKennie in January.
The midfielder is a target for a number of Premier League clubs this winter. But the Tottenham chief wants to reunite with his former Bianconeri purchase.
Pundits predict Tottenham vs Newcastle
Speaking to Paddy Power, former Liverpool man Lawrenson has predicted a 2-0 victory for Conte's men, dismissing any possible hangover from the display at Old Trafford.
"Newcastle are on a good run and they’re not conceding many goals which is good but Spurs are Spurs. They didn’t really turn up at Old Trafford but I think they’ll win here and that inconsistency will drive Antonio Conte absolutely mad."
Lawrenson's prediction: 2-0
However,Chris Sutton has disagreed with Lawrenson and has backed the Magpies to cause a shock in North London on Sunday.
"I really like what Eddie Howe is doing at Newcastle. They are defensively sound, but they always create chances too and they are a team full of confidence," he told BBC Sport.
"Tottenham have been getting some good results without playing particularly well, or at least they were until they went to Old Trafford on Wednesday.
"That defeat would have been worse if not for some good saves by Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris, and they might need him to keep them in this game too."
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
