Keane questions Bale approach at Spurs: He looks way off it

Manchester United great Roy Keane is unconvinced by Gareth Bale's approach at Tottenham.

Bale, on-loan from Real Madrid, is yet to get a proper go under Jose Mourinho, featuring just three times in the Premier League.

His latest appearance was as a sub in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Leicester.

And former Man United star-turned-pundit Keane reckons Bale will never reach the same heights that saw him win four Champions Leagues in Spain.

The Irishman told Sky Sports: “I don't see him getting back to the level he was a few years ago.

“Top players, you've got to play week in and week out.

“With Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and when Bale is at his best - we're going back a few years now.

“I know he's produced big moments in big moments - but he looks way off it."
