MAURICIO POCHETTINO will reportedly urge Manchester United to sign Harry Kane if he takes charge this summer.
But any move for the Tottenham striker could depend on Cristiano Ronaldo’s future.
The Telegraph claims Pochettino could leave Paris Saint-Germain and replace Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford.
He is believed to be the top choice for United players after his fine work at Spurs.
And it’s reckoned Pochettino will instruct Red Devils chiefs to target former forward Kane should he leave France.
The pair forged a strong relationship together in London, with Spurs regularly challenging for the Premier League title and narrowly missing out on Champions League glory in 2019.
Kane made no secret of his desire to quit Tottenham last summer in a £130million move to Manchester City.
And with just two years left on his deal this summer, the 28-year-old England captain could jump at the chance of a reunion with Poch.

Kane is said to currently be content under Antonio Conte but that could change should the Italian depart and Spurs miss out on the top four.
However, United’s transfer business could be dictated by the future of veteran attacker Ronaldo.
The Portugal legend has endured a mixed return to Old Trafford and has been linked with a summer exit should United fail to secure Champions League football for next season.
It’s claimed Ronaldo has already scheduled talks with agent Jorge Mendes after becoming ‘disillusioned’ with life at the Theatre of Dreams.
And that could now open the door for United to make a sensational swoop for Kane.
