Harry Kane told that Man Utd “is the only option” if he departs Tottenham this summer
Gary Neville thinks that if Harry Kane decides to leave Tottenham this summer, Manchester United is the only viable choice for him in the Premier League.
Tottenham may have a difficult decision to make regarding Kane’s future as his contract expires in 2024, and they may choose to sell him to avoid losing him for free next year.
Kane’s potential departure has been highlighted after Tottenham’s loss to Sheffield United in the FA Cup, where Kane was benched. Despite playing for Tottenham’s first team for 12 years, Kane has yet to win any major trophies.
Although Harry Kane made a strong effort to transfer to Manchester City in 2021, Gary Neville believes that Manchester United would be a more suitable destination for the English national team captain.
“He’s a great professional and I think if Harry Kane could leave now and get him an exit out of there to a club in Manchester – probably United or City, I think he would take that opportunity,” Neville said on Sky Sports.
“Now, it’s more than likely that it wouldn’t be City because of their [Erling] Haaland expenditure and what they’ve done with him. Manchester United are desperate for a centre-forward.
“Tottenham fans will be furious with me – they’ll say it’s me coming on television trying to get their player to Manchester United. It’s not. It just looks to me like at this moment in time that the most likely move.
“ Chelsea – I can’t see him going to Chelsea, Harry. He’s quite loyal to Tottenham and there’s a big rivalry between Chelsea and Tottenham. I don’t see that happening. They do need a centre-forward [but] I don’t see that happening.
“He’s not going to go to Arsenal, again because of the rivalry. So Manchester United, I think, is the only option in England for Harry Kane this summer. Bayern Munich has been mentioned and that could happen.
“Daniel Levy would be happier if he was sold internationally, so we could see that. But I think if Harry wants to win trophies then he’s going to have to leave Tottenham, because they do struggle with that aspect.”
Harry Kane will celebrate his 30th birthday in July, indicating that time is running out for him to win trophies with his club.
According to recent reports, Manchester United is interested in signing Kane as they search for a striker before the summer transfer window. With Wout Weghorst’s loan spell ending in the summer and his poor performance, Burnley may not be eager to make his move permanent.
Additionally, Anthony Martial’s future at Manchester United is uncertain. Manager Erik ten Hag is considering signing players such as Kane, Victor Osimhen of Napoli, and Goncalo Ramos of Benfica.
