HARRY KANE will stay at Spurs for a final season — if he cannot get a move to Manchester United.
The England captain has no intention of going abroad while he is just 48 goals away from breaking Alan Shearer’s Prem record tally of 260.
Tottenham are more open to selling Kane to a foreign club than a top-flight rival with Bayern Munich huge admirers of the striker.
But that does not interest Kane, who rattled in another 30 top-flight goals this season and has a year left on his contract.
United are the only viable English option this summer with Kane, who has been at Spurs since age 11, not willing to risk his reputation with the fans by moving to arch- rivals Chelsea or Arsenal.
Newcastle are not in a position to spend north of £100million on one player, despite their Saudi riches.

And Liverpool and Manchester City are not in the market for a striker.
So United need to convince Spurs chief Daniel Levy to sell his prize asset to a domestic rival — something he does not want to do.
SunSport understands Kane wants a switch to Old Trafford or he will run down his deal.
The latter is more probable and could well see England’s 55-goal record scorer leave on a free.

Recently Kane, who is 30 in July, has been talking like a man invested in the future of Spurs.
The Londoners are managerless following Antonio Conte’s sacking in March.
And their eighth-place finish saw them miss out on Europe for the first time since the 2008-09.
Kane spoke earlier this month of his willingness to talk to chairman Levy about his plans and how to change Spurs’ culture.
The striker told Sky Sports: “I always give my all for the team and club.
“Off the pitch to give my opinion on things I think can help us just be more consistent and more successful in the culture that we try to set.”
On the topic of Shearer’s record, Kane said earlier this month: “Now I’m this close to it, for sure, it’s something I’d love to achieve.”
