Teddy Sheringham believes Manchester United should make a "statement" move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane after admitting he isn't blown away by the club's business so far.
Kane stayed at Tottenham last summer despite interest from Manchester City, and would not come cheap. However, with United looking to spend big on Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, Sheringham has identified Kane and England teammate Declan Rice as better uses of his old club's transfer budget.
The treble-winning striker remains unconvinced by De Jong's ability to justify the numbers being quoted over a deal, with United agreeing a fee with Barcelona for the Dutch international but being made to wait while he joins his teammates in their pre-season tour squad. And Sheringham has encouraged his old employers to break the bank after what he considers to be some underwhelming signings in the new manager's first summer window.
