Man Utd eye 'next Robin van Persie' as chiefs aim to repeat "genius" transfer move

Manchester United are reportedly aiming to emulate the title-winning signing of Robin van Persie with a mega money swoop for Tottenham record goalscorer Harry Kane.

The Red Devils are prioritising a move for a striker in the upcoming summer transfer window with Erik ten Hag keen to add more quality to his attack. Dutch striker Wout Weghorst has been signed on a six-month loan deal but he is only anticipated to be a stop-gap for United.

It has already been reported that the club are set to turn to the transfer market once more in the summer with the likes of Kane, Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Red Bull Salzburg starlet Benjamin Šeško all on the club’s shortlist. The Spurs striker would likely represent the biggest name to arrive at Old Trafford.
