Tottenham in relegation battle, says Rooney

Tottenham Hotspur are in a relegation battle, says former England captain Wayne Rooney.

A 2-0 defeat by Manchester United stretched their winless Premier League run to seven games to leave Thomas Frank's side 15th in the table and only six points above the relegation zone.

Spurs finished 17th last season - leading to the dismissal of manager Ange Postecoglou, even after winning the Europa League.

"You'd have to say they are [in a relegation battle] with their current form," said the ex-United striker on The Wayne Rooney Show.
