‘It is understood’: David Ornstein delivers latest update on player who is ‘next on United’s list’ – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the summer.
The Red Devils are interested in signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, but Kane is “next on United’s list”, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
The report claims that while United are interested in signing the England striker, they will not do business at the proposed £120 million fee mooted within the industry.
Furthermore, Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, will not sell Kane to another English club under any circumstances. Ornstein wrote for The Athletic:

There is a feeling that Kane could look to leave the club this summer if Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Spurs lost ground in the top four race yesterday after losing 3-1 against Manchester United. Kane has a contract at the north London club till 2024, and Spurs will only sell him (to a foreign club) at the right price.
The club is under no pressure to sell their prized asset and it looks highly unlikely that any potential suitor would be willing to pay £120m (or even more) for Kane.
According to reports from The Mirror, Manchester City are also interested in signing Kane, but “a transfer of this magnitude may prove difficult this summer” because of financial reasons.
