Six months ago the Manchester United striker search was dominated by two names. Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen were the players circulating at the top of the list and it looked like a case of either one of those two leading the line for Erik ten Hag’s team next season.
But now we are in the white heat of a transfer window the equation looks less simple. It’s reaching the point where it would be a surprise if United landed either one of the two truly elite strikers that looked like they might be on the market this summer.
Kane is Ten Hag’s top target and he has a year left to run on his contract at Tottenham with little intention of signing an extension as things stand. But the obdurate Daniel Levy is digging his heels in and United know how hard striking a deal with the Spurs chairman can be.
