ROY KEANE believes Tottenham star Harry Kane ‘fancies’ joining Manchester United this summer.
But he has urged his old side to sign £154million-rated Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund instead.
United are believed to be in the market for a new striker this summer after struggling for goals from their current forwards.
Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood have just 42 goals between them this term.
And with Cavani seemingly set to leave on a free transfer when his deal expires in June, a new No9 is a priority for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Haaland, 20, is thought to be top of the list after banging in 33 goals for Dortmund this season.
But with uncertaintly mounting over the future of England captain Kane, 27, the Spurs superstar will inevitably be of interest to Solskjaer too.
SunSport understands Daniel Levy has no intention of selling him to an English rival.
But player-turned-pundit Keane believes Kane would jump at the chance to join United should the opportunity arise.

However, he feels the Red Devils would be best served by going for the younger Haaland.
Keane told Sky Sports: “For Kane, he’d be looking at this United team and must be thinking: ‘I could be the top man at Man Utd up front’.
“With the service he’d be getting, Kane must fancy United. [Trophies?] If kane is in the United team, as night follows day, yeah.
“United have closed the gap on City and Kane would be another hug step. Maybe Kane doesn’t want to go abroad, United are still a huge, huge pull.
“United want to get back to winning titles so they’ll certainly need another striker. Kane, Haaland, I’d take either.
“Probably Haaland [over Kane] because of his age and the investment, but I wouldn’t say no to Kane either.”
