Manchester United’s move for Harry Kane is not over yet and there is a feeling that if Tottenham drop the price then a deal can be agreed.

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.

Erik ten Hag is after two midfielders, a centre-back, and at least one striker. Rasmus Hojlund has been looked at but Atalanta put a £80m price tag on their attacker. We have been told that the Serie A club would rather see the youngster leave after one more season when his value will increase.

A lot of who is brought into Old Trafford over the summer stems from the takeover rumbling on in the background.

Glazers frustration

There is frustration behind the scenes over the Glazers and their ownership of the club and how the ongoing saga has hamstrung Erik ten Hag in having enough money to play with to make significant signings.

It is believed that the Qatari group led by Sheikh Jassim are now the frontrunners.

The banker is looking for an entire stake in the club, which would bring at end to the Glazers' 18-year reign.
