Roy Keane proven immediately wrong by James Maddison just minutes into Tottenham vs Man United

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Roy Keane has been left with egg on his face after his brutally honest James Maddison Tottenham comment. The attacking midfielder was one of several Spurs stars in line to return from injury against Manchester United, but ex-Old Trafford favourite Keane was not expecting him to make an impact.

Speaking on The Overlap ahead of the meeting, he said: "We saw James Maddison at Tamworth, he was taken off! Tamworth are non-league...

People say; 'Maddison's the man', but when is he going to step up to the plate? "He got relegated with Leicester [City] and [looks like] with Spurs. "Maddison isn't bad, but if you think he's going to come back and get Spurs top six, you're in cuckoo land.

He's a talented player, but if you're a player in the Spurs dressing room and he's coming back in the squad, you wouldn't be looking and going; 'James is back today - we're going to be fine'." Keane's comments were rather surprising given the fact Maddison has contributed to 15 goals so far this season with Ange Postecoglou immediately putting him back into the starting XI.
