Tottenham superstar Harry Kane has been tipped to leave Spurs this summer, with the north London giants once again going an entire season without winning silverware. A host of European giants are said to be interested in the Englishman, with Man United being the latest club linked with a move for the Premier League ace.
The Englishman is the Premier League top scorer, netting 21 times while assisting another 13 goals, making him the front-runner for both the Golden Boot and playmaker accolade. However, after watching his team drop out of the EPL title race, crash out of both the Europa League and FA Cup, and lose the Carabao Cup final, the 27-year-old is now ready to bring an end to his tenure at Tottenham.
According to the Sun, the Red Devils, who are keen on signing a world-star no.9 despite Edinson Cavani's impressive Old Trafford campaign, have their eyes on Kane. The Three Lions captain, who was recently named the London Football Awards' Player of the Year, would slot into Solskjaer's team perfectly and would be a reliable source of goals amid inconsistent seasons from the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
However, the British tabloid add that Man United's interest in Kane goes further than on-the-pitch matters as the Glazers look to launch a $125M raid in order to appease disgruntled Red Devils fans. The Old Trafford owners have never been popular figures at the Theatre of Dreams, but calls for Joel and Avram Glazer to leave the club have hit an all-time high in the aftermath of their botched attempt to launch the highly-controversial European Super League.
Man United supporters have ramped up their protests against the owners in recent weeks, even going as far as breaking into Old Trafford and setting off flares right before their clash with Liverpool, resulting in the postponement of that fixture. The acquisition of Harry Kane is unlikely to win back the fans, but that's not all, as it is a reach to say the Red Devils will land the Englishman as things currently stand.
First of all, the article states that the 20-time Premier League champions will make a move should the striker hand in a transfer request, which is the likely outcome, but still not guaranteed. However, the biggest issue is the offer as Daniel Levy would likely demand way more than $125M for his prized asset as Spurs look to reinvest in their squad in order to get back into the UEFA Champions League.
Solskjaer might have an eye on this transfer situation, but the Old Trafford boss will be mainly focused on his team's upcoming Europa League semi-final trip to Roma. Bruno Fernandes and Co. beat the Italian giants 6-2 in the first leg and are all but destined to make the final as they look to win their first trophy under the Norwegian's stewardship.
