Harry Kane 'Not On The Radar' Of Manchester United

Harry Kane is not a summer transfer target for Manchester United, according to Sky Sports News HQ reporter James Cooper.

Reports surfaced on Thursday night that the Tottenham striker, who has scored 30 goals in all competitions this season, could be the subject of a £45m bid.

Manchester United are expected to make more moves in the transfer market after the signing of Memphis Depay, but Kane does not appear to be on their list of targets.

"There are a lot of intriguing tales because I think the main fact remains Manchester United will spend big this summer and they have got targets," Cooper said.

"I don’t think Harry Kane is among them and certainly speaking to Manchester United folk this morning he is not on their radar.

"I think they no doubt admire what he has done for Tottenham Hotspur this season but if you look further into this and look into the striking options they do have available, Wayne Rooney is safe, he is captain of Manchester United.

"[There are] question marks perhaps over Robin van Persie but he is a proven Premier League goalscorer. There is a question mark perhaps over Radamel Falcao as well and he’s scored goals everywhere except for Manchester United and might be given a second chance.

"Then you go down to James Wilson, who may well be allowed out on loan next season, then of course you have Chicharito [Javier Hernandez] who may come back from loan.

"I think Manchester United will be in the market for a striker but I do think they have priorities elsewhere, defensively and in midfield.

"I’d expect another four maybe five signings hot on the heels of Memphis Depay and there could be some other surprises too, but I don’t think at the moment Harry Kane is someone Manchester United are realistically looking at, whether it is that price or not that price."
