Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been told to “break the bank” for Tottenham striker Harry Kane after the club failed to sign a suitable replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
The Dutchman has made respectable work of the current attacking options at his disposal, with the Red Devils winning five of their first nine Premier League matches, but a regular source of goals has been hard to come by.
United have netted 13 times in the league so far, with just one of those coming from Ronaldo, but former Red Devil Teddy Sheringham believes that having “no proper centre forward” to work with has made Ten Hag’s job even tougher this season.
