Manchester United legend Roy Keane makes Tottenham top four prediction ahead of 'must-win' clash

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has admitted he doesn't think Tottenham will finish in the top four this season despite the return of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son.

Spurs return to Premier League action against the Red Devils this evening, with Kane and Son both confirmed to start the game after long lay-offs.

Kane hasn't featured for Tottenham since tearing his hamstring on New Year's Day, whilst Moussa Sissoko is another long-term absentee that will start.

Jose Mourinho's team trail his old employers by four points in the table and an additional three to Chelsea who occupy fourth place.

A win would move Spurs right behind Manchester United though and with key attacking players fit for the run-in, fans are hopeful they could sneak into Champions League qualification.

However, Keane has insisted that the game against Manchester United is must-win for Tottenham but doesn't believe they will make the top-four, regardless.

“They have to win tonight. It’s a big ask for Tottenham," Keane told Sky Sports.

"The break will have done them good - with Kane coming back, and Son. They have a lot to make up, they have to win tonight, a draw is no good for them.

"It’s a big night for Tottenham if they’re going to get top four. I think they’ll be short."
