Manchester United have told Harry Kane to push for a move to Old Trafford.

The Sun reports that the Red Devils are ready to walk away from the difficulties in negotiating with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

The club have reportedly asked Spurs’ all-time top goalscorer to come out with a transfer request to force the club’s hand.

So far, Man Utd have been told that the striker is not for sale and have stuck an asking price of £100million for the Premier League star.

But Man Utd value Kane at around £80million and so it’s thought that negotiations have reached a stalemate.

The side are already looking at alternative options, with Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund as a potential candidate.

It comes after FootballTransfers’ story that Man Utd’s move for Kane is not over yet and there is a feeling that if Tottenham drop the price then a deal can be agreed upon.

Spurs’ all-time goal-scorer is open to making the switch to Old Trafford this summer window and there is uncertainty around whether Daniel Levy would truly be willing to let Kane leave on a free in 2024.

It is thought that things may start opening up further into the window with regard to the England captain’s future.

Sources say that if the price tag of Kane drops to around the £75milllion mark, it’s more likely that things could get done.

Ten Hag targets

Erik ten Hag is after two midfielders, a centre-back, and at least one striker for the new season. A lot of who is brought into Old Trafford over the summer stems from the takeover rumbling on in the background.

The Man Utd boss said towards the end of last season about transfers: “We need more. Now we are far away, so we have a lot of work to do. We've made progress, but we need better players if we want to compete for the highest. But I don't have so much patience, that is one of my mistakes.”
