Ian Wright has called for Manchester United to offer out-of-favour striker Anthony Martial in a player-plus-cash deal for Harry Kane this summer – but such a plan may meet resistance from Joel Glazer.
United have stepped up their interest in the boyhood Tottenham fan who, aside from loan spells earlier in his career, has spent the entirety of his career at the North London club. Yet Kane is out of contract at Spurs next year and the club may be tempted to cash in this summer.
Kane, 29, is said to be on a three-man shortlist of strikers United want to sign this summer. Their admiration for the England captain is absolute, but their interest in his signing will likely be dependent on his contractual situation – with Spurs perhaps feeling that an exit would be mutually beneficial for all parties.
