Manchester United devise clever method to beat Chelsea, Manchester City to Harry Kane

A player-plus-cash deal could be Manchester United’s only way of signing Harry Kane, according to reports.

The Tottenham star, 27, has told the club that he wants a summer move to finally bag some major silverware.

Manchester City and Chelsea have been linked with a bid, along with United.

The Athletic report on enquiries for the striker landing from both Manchester clubs as they gauge the likelihood of a deal.

The Sun revealed this week that the neighbours are willing to put an £80million, five-year contract on the table if a bid is accepted.

Tottenham are said to have not completely dismissed selling Kane with a fee of £120million thought to be enough to secure his services.
