Roy Keane says he is not impressed with either Tottenham or Arsenal.

Ireland's assistant coach Roy Keane holds a press conference at the Montbauron stadium in Versailles on June 24, 2016 during the Euro 2016 football tournament.

Roy Keane has told Sky Sports that he believes both Tottenham and Arsenal are not putting forward convincing cases to finish in the top four.

Keane says he believes both teams are vulnerable, and urges his former club Manchester United to beat them to a Champions League spot.

All three teams have had poor starts to the season, with Arsenal the only one of the trio to win this weekend.

Keane said: “A couple of weeks ago I’d have said I wasn’t sure about the top four for United but having looked at Tottenham and Arsenal over the last few weeks, I think United should be expecting to finish fourth.

“It’s there for the taking. It’s there for a lot of teams and United, with the players that they have, should be capable of doing it.”

Arsenal face Manchester United next week, and head into the match three points ahead, in fourth place.

Tottenham also sit three points behind Arsenal, and have failed to step up early on as potential title challengers, having.

Spurs finished in fourth place last season, with Arsenal in fifth, and United sixth.

Fans of Arsenal and Tottenham may not agree with Keane’s assessment, but based on their inconsistent form early this season, it is not unreasonable.

Both teams need to string a run of wins together to start convincing the doubters they can achieve more than simply scraping a top four place.
