Kylian Mbappe has already given his verdict on Manchester United transfer wildcard

Despite Harry Kane being their top target ahead of the transfer window opening next week, Manchester United have not been naive enough to limit their striker search to just him.

Manager Erik ten Hag has pinpointed the addition of a world-class front man as his primary mission ahead of the start of next season with United desperately in need of upgrading their attacking options. Despite Marcus Rashford plunder 30 goals in all competitions this term, the Reds still lack a dependable out-and-out No.9.

Kane, who scored 32 times for Tottenham Hotspur this term, was identified as Ten Hag's top target back in March, but United are operating under the assumption that the Londoners will refuse to sell him this summer, despite the England captain entering the final 12 months of his contract. Chairman Daniel Levy is a stickler when it comes to transfer business, particularly when dealing with Premier League rivals.
