Man United plot £62m Tottenham transfer raid as Erik ten Hag eyes Cristiano Ronaldo replacement

Manchester United look set to hand Tottenham a wake up call regarding the future of Harry Kane. The 29-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City in the summer but, with the Lilywhites eager to hold onto the striker, Pep Guardiola's side welcomed Erling Haaland to the Etihad Stadium instead.

Following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Erik ten Hag is in the market for a new striker to lead the line at Old Trafford. After spending over £200million in the summer, the Red Devils are said to be looking for a shrewd acquisition before securing a long-term replacement for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner at the end of the season.

Burnley forward Wout Weghorst, who is currently on loan at Besiktas, has emerged as a surprise short-term target for United. But, the Netherlands international is said to not be the long-term solution Ten Hag is looking for - instead, the Red Devils boss has shortlisted three candidates ahead of the summer.
