Redknapp: Bale could come out and decide to murder Manchester City's left-back

Harry Redknapp is hoping that Tottenham can topple Manchester City this Sunday in the Carabao Cup final and he wants Gareth Bale and Harry Kane to be on top form.

Spurs sacked Jose Mourinho this week ahead of the final and Redknapp spoke of his surprise over the decision.

"It was a really strange one," Redknapp told Goal.com.

"The timing, for sure. There was talk of Jose going, but I couldn't see it happening when it did.

"I don't know what's gone on, but there's got to be a reason behind it.

"One thing is for sure, Tottenham will have someone in place already. I know how Daniel Levy works.

"He'll have spoken to someone, got somebody in place, someone he can't get at the moment because he's in a job, so he's given it to Ryan Mason until the end of the season".

He also spoke about star man Kane's future at the club.

"I think he'll stay. I think the new manager will come in and convince him that they'll be having a go and signing a few more players," he said.

"There's nobody better than him. I wouldn't swap him for any centre-forward in the world, personally.

"He would guarantee Man City, Man Utd or Liverpool winning the league next season, for sure. He's a fantastic player. Tottenham have to keep him".
