Alan Shearer says £60m Tottenham star is 'nowhere near good enough' after Man United showing
Story updated
The story in brief
27-second readRoberto De Zerbi launched a passionate defence of Dominic Solanke after Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Man United, but one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever strikers has a different view of the 29-year-old.
De Zerbi showed huge faith in Solanke by not just handing him a start at Old Trafford but also giving him the captain’s armband. The England international looked like he was lacking in sharpness again in the final third, missing several huge chances.
However, he had the last laugh, as he got on the end of Sandro Tonali’s cross in stoppage time to score the equaliser.
