Harry Kane has admitted he has heard Manchester United fans’ attempts to lure him to Old Trafford.
The travelling United supporters struck up a loud chorus throughout their draw at Tottenham on Thursday night. They were singing: “We’ll see you in June, Harry Kane, we’ll see you in June.” England captain Kane is United’s No.1 striker target this summer and he smiled when asked whether he heard the songs.
Tottenham striker Kane said: “I heard what they were saying but I'm just focussed on this team and trying to finish strongly.” Kane has one year left on his current contract at Tottenham and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy faces a massive dilemma this summer over whether to sell or risk allowing him to go into the final 12 months of his deal.
United are leading the chase and could be ready to pay up to £100m for the 29-year-old striker who wants to stay in England to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League all-time scoring record. Kane has yet to decide on his future but Tottenham are hoping to play on his loyalty to the club, although the striker has made it clear he wants to win trophies.
Tottenham came back from two goals down to draw with United with Ryan Mason taking charge for the first time this season. Mason, who has been installed until the end of the season whilst Levy searches for a permanent successor to Antonio Conte, said he was proud of his players for their fight and the way they went at United with the Newcastle result fresh in their minds.
"It's been difficult after Sunday because the manner in which we lost wasn't nice for anyone to be involved with," said Mason. "But the most important thing now until the end of the season will always be to stick together as a team.
Where do you think Harry Kane will be playing next season? Have your say here
"Football - small details can change games, change results but ultimately the most important thing is to be together. And to everyone - the fans, the outside world looking in, they'll see a team that's solid and united together. And when you are that you have a chance of success.
"(We have) big character, big personalities, stuck together, kept believing and acted as a team throughout the whole game. That pleases me after what happened at the weekend because we probably didn't have that as a group.
"And off the back of how the first half went in terms of the scoreline, to go out at half-time and stick together, fight for each other and really got our fans involved, I thought they helped us massively, and it's pleasing. It proves a lot to me what I already thought about this group but to see that on to the pitch is a good feeling."
