Manchester United are looking for a cannonballer. Will Harry Kane wear the red jersey?

Manchester United footballers are in the top four of the Premier League table, which ensures their participation in the Champions League, but one statistic troubles the Red Devils. Too low productivity. United are not scoring goals. Throughout the entire Premier League season, Manchester Reds have scored only 52 goals. Of the teams in the top ten, only seventh-placed Aston Villa have scored fewer goals, specifically 49 accurate shots. This is also why Erik ten Hag will be looking for someone capable of scoring goals in the summer. And he’s looking for some truly stellar reinforcements.

With Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure to Saudi Arabia, United have lost a killer at the tip of the attack and a finisher of the actions that either Bruno Fernandes or Christian Eriksen set up with their accurate passes.

in the winter, United brought in Dutch striker Wout Weghorst from Turkish side Besiktas, but he hasn’t been very successful in replacing Ronaldo. The club’s top scorer this season is winger Marcus Rashford with sixteen goals.

However, Rashford is currently injured and other United players are not making up for his goal contribution. They don’t have someone like Manchester City’s Erling Haaland in the team who leads the team to victory with his goals. So, the transfer priority for ten Haga and his management team will be a reinforcement in the number nine position.

The club’s management would thus like to bring in one of the best strikers in the Premier League and possibly one of the best goal scorers in the world. We are talking about the captain of the English national team and key player of Tottenham Hotspur Harry Kane. He is out of contract at Tottenham and it doesn’t look like an extension will be forthcoming.

Kane is currently enjoying his best goal scoring season since the 2017/18 season in which he scored exactly 30 goals. He currently has 28 goals before his last league game and is second in the goalscorers table behind the unbeatable Haaland.

The Hag himself is reportedly absolutely obsessed with Kane and would like his transfer to happen as soon as possible so that Kane can get involved in the team’s pre-season preparations. The motivation for Kane’s transfer to United could be the desire to win trophies, which he has successfully avoided so far with Tottenham.

Indeed, this season Ten Hag ended Manchester United’s six-year wait for a trophy and dominated the League Cup with the team. Moreover, he is in the FA Cup final, so another trophy can still be added by the Dutch manager.

Apart from Kane, United are also interested in other strikers. They are, for example, Victor Osimhen, Gonzalo Ramos, Dusan Vlahovic or also Lautaro Martinez. However, none of them have the experience in the English league competition as Kane. That’s why Hag would like to get the best goal scorer in the history of the English national team.
