Manchester United will see straight through the flurry of reports concerning Harry Kane on Monday. The suggestion he is willing to renew at Tottenham Hotspur feels as remote as Antonio Conte being their coach this time next year.
Kane's brother, Charlie, was exposed so publicly and humiliatingly over the brothers' failed attempt to engineer a transfer to Manchester City 18 months ago he daren't risk antagonising the Spurs fanbase again. 'Charlie Kane' trended on Twitter more than his sibling during the summer of 2021.
'CK66' has been rebranded as the more singular The Harry Kane Company. To counter last week's reports of United's interest, some suspect the Kanes have embarked on a charm offensive with Spurs supporters. It helps Harry is on the cusp of breaking the feted Jimmy Greaves's club goalscoring record that has stood for almost 53 years.
