Erik ten Hag ready to snub 'next Ruud van Nistelrooy' to sign Harry Kane

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag looks likely to ignore transfer advice given to him by a former Red Devil and push forward with his pursuit to lure Harry Kane to Old Trafford.

The Dutchman is thought to have made the Tottenham talisman one of his priority targets ahead of the coming summer transfer window, while Kane himself is rumoured to be keen on the switch. One person who isn't is ex-United ace Paul Parker, who has urged the club to opt for a younger alternative.

United's current attacking options are unlikely to remain the same next term, with Wout Weghorst only at Old Trafford on loan while there are question marks over Anthony Martial's future. Marcus Rashford can't be left to shoulder the goal-scoring burden alone for another season, hence the interest in Kane.
