Manchester United have identified England captain Harry Kane as their priority target for the summer window and time will tell if they can strike up business with Tottenham for his signature.
Having sanctioned moves for nine players during his maiden season at the helm, either permanently or on loan deals, Erik ten Hag wants two major recruits when the market reopens. The Manchester Evening News understands the Dutchman has eyes on a central midfielder as well as pursuing Kane.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is notoriously fierce in the boardroom and the north Londoners might not be willing to play ball with another Premier League team. Germany heavyweights Bayern Munich are also thought to be in the mix for the prolific 29-year-old amid mounting speculation over his domestic future.
