Kane Would Prefer Man Utd Switch Over Tottenham Rebuild

With the north London side
facing a complete reconstruction under Jose Mourinho, their star forward
would be open to joining the Red Devils

Tottenham striker Harry Kane would consider a move to Manchester United this summer, Goal has learned, as he would prefer not to stay at Spurs while they undergo an extensive rebuild.

Kane is understood to be reluctant to wait for an overhaul of the Spurs squad before challenging for the Premier League title and again becoming a force in Europe. Missing out on the Champions League next season with the north London outfit would further disillusion the England man.

Sources close to Kane have made it known that the forward would be
keen on a potential move to United, a development which could now give
executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward the encouragement he needs to
proceed with any bid.

Kane’s contract – signed in the summer
of 2018 – extends until 2024, and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy would be
in a position to command a hefty fee for his star striker. It is
understood that Kane would not currently consider signing renewed terms
at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 181-goal frontman wants to end his career with at least one major trophy having missed out on Champions League glory in the final against Liverpool last term.

Kane, 26, is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, with his
coach Jose Mourinho stating this week that no risks will be taken with
his fitness before the end of the season.

Spurs lost Christian Eriksen to Inter in January, adding Steven Bergwijn and Giovani Lo Celso on permanent deals – and Gedson Fernandes on loan – but the squad still faces vast restructuring in the next few transfer windows.

Stadium debt and
the threat of missing out on the Champions League means that Spurs could
be working with a reduced transfer budget, with reports suggesting it
could be as little as £50 million ($64m).

Meanwhile, United’s chances of securing Kane could be significantly improved if Mauricio Pochettino becomes their manager.

Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer is still a candidate to continue in charge in the
medium-to-long term, especially if he achieves Champions League
qualification, but Pochettino remains United’s preferred option if they
have to replace the Norwegian.

The club’s No.1 summer target remains Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish despite the recent developments with Kane.
