MANCHESTER United and rivals Manchester City could be about to go head to head in a battle for Harry Kane, according to reports.
The Tottenham striker, 27, is on both clubs’ radars as they look for a focal point for their respective attacks.

And Daily Mail report that the Manchester rivals would both be willing to pay Kane’s £200,000-a-week wages.
SunSport understands that Tottenham are unlikely to want to sell their star striker and Spurs haven’t even set an asking price.
Kane, who has scored 21 goals this season, is under contract until 2024 but would fit the bill for both sides as they search for a new striker.
Pundits and former players have constantly said he might need to leave Tottenham to add silverware to his brilliant goal record.
Ex-Spurs defender William Gallas recently told PlayOJO: “It all depends what Harry Kane wants for his future – does he want to lift trophies or stay at Tottenham and become a legend?
“For the fans, it would be great for Kane to stay but as a player, you have to know what you want.
“Yes, he might have some individual accolades but as a player you want to lift trophies like the Premier League or the FA Cup to understand what it feels like to the lift the trophy.
“That’s why it’s very important for Tottenham to win something, to keep Harry Kane.”
