Spurs suffered a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday, extending their winless run in the Premier League to seven games. The North Londoners have not won a league match since the turn of the year.
Their slump in results has increased the pressure on Thomas Frank, with Spurs currently 15th in the table and just six points above the drop zone.
Discussing their plight, former England captain Rooney said Spurs will be ‘looking over their shoulders’. He said the recent upturn in results from struggling clubs, including West Ham, has dragged Spurs into a relegation fight.
‘You’d have to say yes [in a relegation battle] with their current form,” he further said The Wayne Rooney Show.
“West Ham have been in good form, Nottingham Forest are getting results here and there.
“You can’t think they’re not in a relegation battle where they are now. I think they’ll definitely be looking over their shoulders.”
“I feel for Thomas Frank because he looks tired, he looks like he’s ten years older,” he continued.
“That’s what that job at Tottenham did to him in a short space of time. I hope they stay with him because he’s a fantastic manager, but I think it will be very difficult for them to do that.”
“And there’s no need for your captain to be sent off regularly or be as vocal as he was this week.”
