Jamie Redknapp and Roy Keane clash on air as ex-Manchester United captain savages Toby Alderweireld and Sergio Reguilon in stunning rant about Tottenham
Jamie Redknapp and Roy Keane enjoyed plenty of midfield battles over the years, and they resumed their rivalry on-air before Tottenham’s clash with Burnley.
The former Manchester United captain was extremely critical of Jose Mourinho’s men on Sky Sports, with Spurs losing five of their past six Premier League games.

In fact, Keane even suggested several members of the Burnley team would walk into the Tottenham side given how much they have struggled in recent weeks.
“Definitely their goalkeeper and two centre-halves are better than what Spurs have got, and probably even the two lads in midfield,” Keane said.
“Tottenham have got so many average players.
“We talk about the pressure Spurs are under to get in the top four but if you take Kane and Son out of that team they are average.”
Keane, who was in the studio, was connected to Jamie Redknapp at pitchside via a monitor and the end result was glorious to watch.

“I don’t think it’s an average team or an average squad, it’s full of internationals,” Redknapp responded.
“If you look at the back four: Dier plays for England, Sanchez plays for Colombia, Alderweireld plays for the No.1 team in the world…”
Keane then interrupted: “Playing for your country doesn’t make you a good player.”
The two butted heads via the video link, before Keane added: “Jamie makes the point about international players – these days everybody plays for their country! If you don’t play for your country now you are a bad player.”

They then turned to Alderweireld, and Redknapp argued: “Alderweireld would get in your Man United team right now, Roy.
“I think the goalkeeper’s not good enough, I don’t trust Aurier or Doherty. But Reguilon is as good a left-back as there is in the country so I think you’ve got that wrong…”
Again Keane interrupted by demanding: “Is that why Real Madrid let him go? Why did Real Madrid let him go?”
Redknapp furiously responded: “Does that matter? Just because Real Madrid let him go that doesn’t make him a good player? He’s a fantastic left-back!”
The former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder is renowned for being relaxed and calm on media duties, so watching him get so incensed at times was incredible for viewers.
Keane ended the proceedings by saying: “Spurs could win today two or three nil and afterwards we’d be praising them.
“But this idea that Spurs should automatically be top four because Mourinho’s a top coach… Mourinho knows the game bloody better than all of us.”
Spurs did actually race into a 3-0 lead at half-time thanks to a strike inside two minutes from Gareth Bale, who turned provider for Harry Kane and the England captain then set up Lucas Moura.
