Roy Keane in Man United transfer plea as he names two players Erik ten Hag should sign to bridge Man City gap

Roy Keane has urged Manchester United to sign Declan Rice and Harry Kane in the summer window in a bid to narrow the gap between his former side and Manchester City at the top of the league.

Ten Hag is thought to want two marquee signings in the window when it opens with a number of players linked with a move. Kane's contract at Tottenham ends next season, while Neymar has also been sensationally linked with a move to Old Trafford from PSG after falling out with the club.
