Paul Merson has urged Manchester United to make a move for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the summer of 2021, as quoted on Skysports.com.

The former Arsenal star, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that if United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to win the Premier League title, then he should bring Kane to Old Trafford.

Merson told Sky Sports: “But if I’m Man Utd, I’m doing all I can to buy Kane. I know Erling Haaland is on a lot of radars, but there should be only one person on Man Utd’s radar: Harry Kane. If they want to close the gap to Man City, they need someone to come to that club and score goals the minute he walks into that club, like Harry Kane can.

“Because Kane has done it, year in, year out, in this relentless league. Who is to know Haaland is going to hit the ground running in this league? You don’t have time in this league. Timo Werner was scoring goals left, right and centre, but came here and has struggled.

“Sometimes I watch Kane and think: ‘Am I the only one who sees this?’ I’d be paying everything to sign him. He’s got the entire package. Man Utd need to win the league now, not in five or six years’ time. Don’t get me wrong, Haaland is an unbelievable prospect. But for me it’s a no brainer – I’d want to win the league now!”

Could Harry Kane leave Tottenham Hotspur?

Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that the England international would be a success at United.

However, one must consider that the striker himself may not want to leave Spurs this summer.

After all, Kane is 27 now, and if he wanted to leave Spurs, he would have done so by now.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is a tough negotiator, and he is unlikely to sell the striker on the cheap even if the team are unable to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.

Moreover, if Spurs win the EFL Cup and get Champions League football for next season, then the North London club would not have any reason to even entertain offers for Kane.
