Manchester United told who to sign to partner Cristiano Ronaldo

Louis Saha believes Manchester United should go "all out" for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane and insists the lack of Champions League football will not be an issue in their pursuit.

The Reds are eager to add to their attacking department in Erik ten Hag's first transfer window as permanent manager. Current interim boss, Ralf Rangnick, has already highlighted their need to bolster their strikeforce in the summer.

One of the names billed is the Spurs talisman, who has been in inspired form for Antonio Conte in the second half of the campaign after a slow start. United's fortunes haven't been so fruitful as they slipped down the Premier League table and could be in the Europa Conference League should they lose to Crystal Palace on Sunday and West Ham beat Brighton.

However, former Reds striker Saha has urged them to enter the race to sign the England captain, he told Lord Ping : "They should absolutely go all out for Kane, yes. He’s the player that will bring United back to the top.

"I’m scared that Man City are going to be stepping up even more and become even more hard to catch as they now have Haaland, a player who allows them to play long balls and counter-attacking football. If Man United or even Liverpool need to catch up, you need those additions and Kane guarantees 25 to 30 goals a season and I’m sure it’ll be a nice partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo.

"You can see Kane’s enjoying his time at Spurs. His partnership with Son is unbelievable. They can achieve a lot of things and they have a great manager, but United still remains a very attractive destination - even if they aren’t in the Champions League."
