Erik ten Hag outlines Man Utd's "very good plan" for Harry Kane amid transfer interest

Erik ten Hag insists that Manchester United will need a "very good plan" to stop Harry Kane on Thursday night - before he makes a move to sign him.

United boss Ten Hag has privately identified Kane, 29, as his top target ahead of the summer transfer window, with the Tottenham striker's future in the spotlight and only 14 months left on his current contract. The Red Devils plan to open talks with Spurs over a deal and offer him a £300,000-a-week salary, but first their task will be stop him from adding to his tally of 24 Premier League goals this season when the two teams meet.

"We have a plan for him and, in the home game, we did it very well, so for tomorrow we need a very good plan as well," Ten Hag told a press conference. "He's a clever player, don't allow him to come into the situations, as he can have a big impact."
