Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole believes signing Harry Kane and Declan Rice will still not be enough for the Reds to challenge rivals Manchester City next season.
MEN Sport understands Kane is a priority target for United as they look to strengthen their forward options. However, the Reds are pessimistic about their chances of signing him and are working under the assumption Tottenham Hotspur will not sell.
Meanwhile, Rice has been linked with a move to Old Trafford previously but the asking price has been deemed too high. However, it's again been suggested United could enter the race for his signature after West Ham confirmed on Thursday their captain would be leaving this summer.
