Manchester United could rekindle their pursuit of Harry Kane by using Jadon Sancho as a makeweight in a deal for the Tottenham striker.

United reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Kane last month, with Spurs’ valuation of the England captain said to be too high in the view of the 13-time Premier League champions.

But things change quickly and dramatically in the crazy world that is the transfer market – and Kane may yet make his way to Old Trafford this summer, amid continued interest from Bayern Munich.

According to the Express, engineering some kind of swap deal involving Sancho is a potential option for Man Utd.

A straight swap would be out of the question – Spurs are believed to value Kane at £100m, while it has been reported that United would entertain offers of around £45m for Sancho – but a player-plus-cash deal might just work.

It’s not the first time this summer that Tottenham have been linked with a move for Sancho – who could be offloaded after two underwhelming seasons at Old Trafford since signing from Borussia Dortmund for £73m (€85m).

Just what United need

United have yet to make a signing this summer, but a new centre-forward remains arguably the top priority for Erik ten Hag as he looks to bolster his squad in preparation for a return to the Champions League next term.

Spurs have previously seemed reluctant to sell Kane to a Premier League rival, but the 29-year-old is now into the final 12 months of his contract.

As such, the current transfer window could represent Tottenham’s last opportunity to generate a fee for their record goalscorer – who was the subject of a £60m (€70m) bid from Bayern last month.
