Roy Keane names two Spurs stars who would walk into Man Utd's team

Roy Keane insists Harry Kane and Heung-min Son would walk into Manchester United’s starting XI.

Both Spurs players came up against Keane’s former side at Old Trafford this afternoon, with Kane scoring from the penalty spot in a 3-2 defeat for the visitors.

Keane was full of praise for the Tottenham duo in the build-up to the match and warned United the attacking pair would pose the biggest threat.

On Kane, Keane told Sky Sports: ‘What can we say? He’s a brilliant player, a huge player, slow out the blocks, he was supposed to leave, obviously supposed to leave but he’s bounced back.

‘He’ll be coming back today, you can see with his stats [his quality], we saw how good he was against Man City. Kane and Son would walk into this Manchester United team, that’s the big threat.

‘You can identify the threat but not many teams have stopped it and that’s the sign of a brilliant player because he turns up and does it. United will have to be on their guard because if you give him a chance it’ll be in the back of the net.’

While Kane and Son endured a frustrating afternoon, at the other end Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick sent United back into the top four.

His goals against Spurs means he has now scored the most goals for club and country in men’s professional football – an incredible 807 goals.

The Portuguese’s opener was a thing of beauty too, picking up the ball from the edge of the box and rifling the ball past Hugo Lloris with a thunderous strike.

Former Premier League striker Dean Ashton was in awe of the 37-year-old’s stunning effort.

‘Woah! That is stunning from Cristiano Ronaldo! Absolutely stunning!’ he told
