April 30, (THEWILL) – Manchester United are in need of a new striker, and Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils’ Manager, has alluded to the fact that Tottenham Hotspur’s forward, Harry Kane, is at the top of his list.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure in the middle of the season left a gap that has yet to be filled, and Ten Hag believes that Kane could be the solution. “A lack of a world-class No 9 is the main issue holding United back from challenging for the Premier League title,” Ten Hag insisted recently while talking about Kane.
On Thursday night, Manchester United fans, who attended the match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, made their sentiments known by singing, “Harry Kane, we’ll see you in June.” Ten Hag has pinpointed the English captain as his top priority signing for the summer transfer window.
However, Kane, whose contract with Tottenham is set to expire next year, faces a crucial decision regarding his future this summer, particularly with the club’s unlikely UEFA Champions League qualification.
Although United appears to be reluctant to engage in lengthy, complicated negotiations with Tottenham Chairman, Daniel Levy, the club has not signed a player from Spurs since Dimitar Berbatov in 2008. It remains to be seen if United will pursue Kane, but one thing is certain, Ten Hag will be going all out to get one in the summer.
