Roy Keane has admitted that he is worried that Manchester United are falling behind the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
Hardly anyone would have believed you at the start of the season if you had said that Tottenham would be sitting at the top of the Premier League table after 10 matches while Manchester United would be languishing in eighth place, 11 points behind the Lilywhites.
Spurs appeared to be in turmoil, with their record goalscorer leaving and with the fan base being quite angry with the ownership, and many doubted if Ange Postecoglou would be the man to turn the ship around, given his lack of experience at the top level.
In stark contrast, United seemed to have found some continuity under Erik Ten Hag, and appeared ready to kick on and challenge the big guns after the Dutchman led them to a third-place finish and the Carabao Cup in his first season at Old Trafford.

Keane how now admitted that he is concerned that the likes of Spurs, Newcastle and others would move far ahead of Man Utd if his former club do not sort out their mess.
The pundit told Sky Sports (29/10/23 at 12:10 pm) about the Red Devils: “It looks like they are surviving every game. It’s a battle for every result – in previous years, we have been comparing how far Manchester United are behind Manchester City.
“But my worry, at this moment in time, if whatever about Manchester City, it’s all the other teams who seem to have gone past them, at this present moment in time.
“Whether you look at Spurs. Liverpool have recovered. Look where Newcastle are going. Arsenal have got stronger and Manchester United are certainly slipping behind the pack.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Man Utd fans were extremely arrogant in the summer when it was reported that Levy would not sell Kane to a direct rival, with many scoffing at the idea that Spurs were United’s direct rivals.
A lot of their fans got all giddy after one decent season and I certainly do not feel any sympathy for them at the moment.
