Manchester United are aware of the difficulties of signing Tottenham striker Harry Kane this summer and are likely to pursue other striking targets.
Kane, 29, is on United boss Erik ten Hag’s target list this summer as he is on red alert to sign a central striker at Old Trafford. United are desperate to sign an elite striker while Kane’s contractual situation – his deal at Spurs expires next summer – theoretically opens the door to a potential summer exit.
However, the North London club have no intention of allowing the England captain to leave this summer and are even stronger in their stance of Kane possibly joining a direct rival in the Premier League – which is where the striker would prefer to remain, rather than move abroad.
