Man United transfer: A Harry Kane transfer on the cards?

After missing out on a move for Norwegian starlet Erling Haaland, Man United secured a temporary move for former Watford attacker Odion Ighalo. With Ighalo's future at the club beyond the loan spell still unknown, it is reported that Man United could target Harry Kane in the summer.

Man United transfer: Harry Kane transfer likely if Spurs fail to qualify for Champions League

Tottenham Hotspur currently lie 7th in the Premier League, five points off fourth-placed Chelsea.

Reports in the UK suggest that Man United chairman Ed Woodward could look to capitalise on Spurs missing out on Champions League by making a big-money move for the star striker.

In 2018, Harry Kane put pen to paper on a fresh six-year extension that saw him become one the highest earners at the club. He reportedly earns £200,000-a-week at Tottenham Hotspur. 

The 26-year-old is considered as one of the top players at Spurs. Under such circumstances, it'll prove very difficult for United or any other club to convince Tottenham to part ways with their prized possession.
