confident of stunning Harry Kane transfer this summer after making contact with £200k-a-week Tottenham star
MANCHESTER UNITED believe they will land Harry Kane this summer — if Tottenham finish outside the top four.
Old Trafford chiefs reckon Spurs missing out on a Champions League place will see them lower their £100million asking price.
United have made contact with Kane’s camp through a third party and have been encouraged by the response.
Kane turns 30 in July — and has achieved his ambition of becoming Spurs’ all-time top scorer.
While United were 7-0 at Anfield Sunday, there is still a belief that Kane has a better chance of finally winning a trophy at Old Trafford than at Tottenham.
The England captain’s £200,000-a-week deal is up at the end of next season and failing to make the Champions League puts suitors in a better position to negotiate a lower fee.
Kane said in January that there had not much talk with spurs over new contract but he was “sure there will be conversations over the coming months”.
Champions Manchester City are no longer in the running, having failed to land the striker in 2021
They have since signed Erling Haaland and the Norwegian has 27 Prem goals in the race for the title golden boot
Kane has 18, with United’s Marcus Rashford on 14.
