While it may be a long way before the return of the transfer window, United appear ready to do a big job ahead of the summer offseason. According to numerous reports from England, Old Trafford has confirmed that Tottenham striker Harry Kane will be the number one target in their summer transfer window. The England international has close ties to a move to Manchester City last summer, but his club turned down any link from the England champions and Kane remained in London. However, this summer could be a completely different scenario, with Kane likely to end up moving to a bigger club.
Based on United's struggles in front of goal in recent weeks, it's no surprise that rumors of Kane's move to Manchester United have intensified. Despite Ronnick's best efforts, he was unable to get Ronaldo, Rashford or Cavani to score in any regular way. Lonnick recently admitted that the club will almost certainly need to sign a new striker in the summer. There is no doubt that Kane meets this requirement. So why did Kane move to Manchester? According to England media, if Manchester United finally appoint Pochettino as their next manager, the England international will be willing to go north.
It's no secret that after this summer, Lonnick will leave for a longer-term management position, and few managers know how to make the most of Kane's strengths as Pochettino. As a result, Kane is reportedly very keen to reunite with mentors at a new club, which will help both sides eventually win their main trophy goals. And the last reason such a move seems more likely to happen in the summer is that Spurs may end up losing patience with their star striker. While Kane didn't completely tear his face off with the club when he moved to Manchester City last summer, his performances this season have been well below average. Kane has scored just five goals in 21 league games so far, and unless that changes quickly, his club may start questioning what they can expect from being a home striker and using him in the summer in exchange for enough money.
