That's the message from Sky Sports pundit, Paul Merson, who reckons Erik ten Hag needs the England captain to compete with Manchester City and his former side, Arsenal, for the title next season. United were beaten by the table-topping Gunners on their trip to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

In that game, summer signing Antony was among those criticised for his performance, while Merson outlined his arrival as a marker for what it might cost to lure Kane to Old Trafford next season. He only has 18 months to run on his contract, but the Tottenham striker would be keen to sit down to discuss an extension.
