Manchester United could include Marcus Rashford in a deal to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Miguel Delaney’s Reading The Game column for The Independent.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has written in his Friday newsletter that Manchester United are considering the possibility of sending striker Rashford to Tottenham in a bid to sign fellow England international Kane.
Rashford – Kane swap between Manchester United and Tottenham unlikely
In our opinion, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is unlikely to accept a Kane-Rashford swap deal.
Now, of course, Manchester United are a rich club, and they will be able to include a lot of cash in a potential swap deal.
However, we do not think that Levy would be willing to sign a striker who has not been at his best for a while now and has not developed much in recent times.
Moreover, Rasford earns £200,000 per week as salary at United (Spotrac) – that is a lot for Spurs.
Kane is one of the best strikers in the world and is at the top of his game at the moment.
Yes, Tottenham could sign another world-class striker with the money they would get from Manchester United, but how many top-quality strikers would move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, especially if Spurs are unable to finish in the Premier League top four?
