      Harry Kane ONLY wants Man Utd transfer and is ready to leave for free next season if Tottenham refuse to sell

      by

      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.”

      Foot Mercato claims Neymar, 31, accepts he has no future at the Parc des Princes this summer.
      And he is now fully focused on securing a switch to Old Trafford.
      L’Equipe claimed last week that United were already in advanced talks with PSG over a move for the world’s most expensive player.
      Neymar cost £192million when he joined the French side from Barcelona in 2017.

      But after 118 goals and five titles, PSG want to get rid of him this summer.
      United are known to be in the market for a new forward to help out Marcus Rashford.
      Boss Erik ten Hag admitted this week his is desperate for more firepower.
      He told the Times: “What we need besides Marcus Rashford is one extra player with scoring abilities.

      “Whether it’s coming out of our own squad or we have to sign one.”
      Ten Hag even suggested outcast Mason Greenwood could return.
      But Neymar is keen on completing a move to the Red Devils, with the Brazilian showing no interest in leaving PSG for any other side.
      Should he join United, the veteran is likely to operate on the left flank.
      But as shown with Brazil, Neymar is equally capable of playing as a free-roaming No10.
      He isn’t the only star set to leave the French capital this summer.
      Argentina legend Lionel Messi is also likely to quit, with his contract expiring next month.
      The World Cup winner has offers to play in Saudi Arabia and America.
      But Barcelona are hoping to coax him back by pairing Messi with Robert Lewandowski in attack. More

      Man Utd ‘ready to pay £65m release clause for transfer target’ with Portuguese star ‘ready to move to Premier League’

      by

      Boss Erik ten Hag warned long-term stopper De Gea this week that he won’t be guaranteed the No1 spot next season, even if he signs a new contract.
      Ten Hag told The Times: “I will not say he’ll always be my No1 because in a club like Man United there must be competition in all positions.
      “You can’t do it with 11 players. It is impossible. You need double positions.
      “If you observe the biggest teams, you have to be capable of playing from the back, and use your keeper as a plus one in your back, otherwise it’s very simple for opponents to put you under pressure.

      “He [De Gea] had to step up. In a number of games, he showed progression.”
      Portuguese publication A Bola reckon Costa is the man earmarked to provide competition for the Spaniard.

      And they say the Red Devils won’t hold back as they considering matching his 65m release clause.
      Costa, 23, appeared to wave goodbye to Porto fans after the club missed out on the Portuguese title to rivals Benfica at the weekend.

      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST SPORTS BETTING APPS IN THE UK
      He has 12 caps for Portugal and even went a crazy 16 games without conceding for his club this season.
      Costa is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes who has significant influence in England.
      United’s interest comes as there are significant doubts over the future of De Gea.
      His deal is to set expire at the end of next month after 12 years at the club.
      Despite winning the Premier League’s Golden Glove award with 17 clean sheets, he still made a number of high profile errors.
      And United have asked him to take a huge 50 per cent pay cut to his £375k-a-week deal if he is to stay. More

      Man Utd star slammed as ‘£90m worth of c**p’ as Erik ten Hag’s transfer spending savaged

      by

      SIMON JORDAN has labelled Manchester United star Antony “£90million worth of c**p”.The former Crystal Palace owner tore into the Red Devils’ transfer spending while speaking on his talkSPORT show.

      United splashed a whopping £220m during the summer window last season as they aimed to back new manager Erik Ten Hag.
      But the Dutch boss bemoaned the tightening of United’s purse strings in interview with Sky Sports this week, after club chiefs failed to spend anything in January when United were seemingly in the title race.
      Bitter rivals Liverpool – who United ultimately pipped to a Champions League spot – beat them to a £37m deal for Cody Gakpo.
      And United instead signed Dutch striker Wout Weghorst and Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer on loan, while releasing Cristiano Ronaldo.

      Ten Hag said: “The club knows that if you want to play top four, if you want to compete for trophies in this tough league, you have to invest, otherwise you won’t progress because other clubs will.
      “We saw it in the winter. All the clubs around us invested. We didn’t and still we made it. So I am really happy and proud of my team.”
      Reacting to Ten Hag’s comments, Jordan said the Old Trafford boss had mismanaged the budget he was given.
      He said: “Okay, Ten Hag. You should have spent £170m in August and £50m in January. Would that have suited you better?
      Most read in Football
      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST SPORTS BETTING APPS IN THE UK
      “No, you decided to fire your bolt early and spend £220m in the August window. 
      “What have you done with that? One of the huge parts of it was Antony.”
      Responding to co-host Jim White’s suggestion that Jordan “has a thing” about Antony and his price-tag in particular, he added:
      “Because he’s c**p. He’s £90m worth of c**p!
      “He’s spent £220m. What he said was the £220m, thank you I’ll have that, but what have you done for me lately?
      “None of the reasons why I was unsuccessful in January is down to me. I have not made Antony better and he has not delivered outcomes, but I got you to spend £90m on him.”
      The Brazil winger has returned eight goals and three assists in his 44 appearances for Manchester United this season.
      The winger was stretchered off during United’s 2-1 final day victory over Fulham but Ten Hag has said he believes the winger could be fit for Saturday’s Manchester derby in the FA Cup final.

      While Antony’s £90m transfer fee last summer means he has experienced the most scrutiny, the signings of Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia during the summer proved to be more successful.
      United are rumoured to be looking to splash the cash again this summer, with West Ham’s Declan Rice and Tottenham’s Harry Kane linked with big-money moves to Manchester. More

      ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE has given a stunning nine-man shortlist when asked who Manchester United are most likely to sign this summer.The Red Devils have had a successful first season under Erik ten Hag, finishing third in the Premier League, and could complete a domestic cup double if they beat rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

      United are set to be busy in the transfer market, and need to sign a centre forward, having not replaced Cristiano Ronaldo as well as strengthening their midfield options.
      These are the nine options AI has predicted could end up at Old Trafford this summer.
      Harry Kane
      The England and Tottenham captain is reportedly United’s number one target as they search for a goal scorer.
      Kane will have one year left on his contract heading into the summer, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is notoriously difficult to negotiate with and a fee in excess of £100million could be required.

      Mason Mount
      The Chelsea midfielder appears set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with contract talks having ground to a halt.
      Erik ten Hag is said to be driving United’s pursuit of the 24 year old and the club have been linked with a £55m move for the England International.
      Declan Rice
      The West Ham captain is widely expected to leave this summer with just a year left on his contract.
      The 24 year old has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal, whilst he is also a priority target for Bayern Munich.

      Rice is set command a fee of around £90m, and United face a tough task to convince him to come to Old Trafford.
      Alexis Mac Allister
      The World Cup winner will leave Brighton this summer having helped them qualify for the Europa League this season.
      It’s unlikely that the Argentine will be playing his football at Old Trafford, as he is very close to completing a move to Liverpool.
      Jude Bellingham
      The 19 year old wonderkid is set to be one of the most sort after players in the upcoming window.
      However, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder won’t be playing in the Premier League next season as he is expected to complete a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
      Frenkie de Jong
      United tried to sign the Barcelona midfielder last summer but were unsuccessful in their pursuit of the Dutch international.
      De Jong appears happy at the La Liga champions and is a key part of Xavi’s side.
      Trying to prize him away from the Nou Camp could prove a very difficult task.
      Youri Tielemans
      The Belgian midfielder will leave relegated Leicester City on a free transfer and was linked with a move to Arsenal last summer.
      A move for Tielemans wouldn’t be too difficult to complete for United with the player a free agent.
      He has been linked with fellow Premier League clubs Newcastle, Liverpool and Aston Villa.
      Nicolo Barella
      Midfield star Barella has played a key role for Inter this season as they won the Coppa Italia and could help them lift the Champions League on June 10.
      He has been linked with a move to rivals Liverpool and could be available this summer given Inter’s financial difficulties.
      Read More on The Sun
      Denzel Dumfries
      The Dutch right back was linked with a move to Chelsea last summer.
      He’s enjoyed a productive season for Inter Milan, but it seems unlikely United will make a move for the 27 year old given the resurgence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and the form of Diogo Dalot. More

      Erik ten Hag opens door to Harry Maguire transfer exit as boss tells benched defender to make ‘decision’ on future

      ERIK TEN HAG has opened the door for Harry Maguire to leave Manchester United.Club captain Maguire has found game time limited this season due to the preference of Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof at right centre-back ahead of him.

      Even full-back Luke Shaw has been more readily utilised as a left centre-back when Lisandro Martinez is not fit, rather than Maguire being deployed there.
      Indeed, of the 16 Premier League games the 30-year-old played in, only half saw him named in the starting XI.
      Talking to The Times about Maguire’s place in the squad, Ten Hag said: “Yes, but he has high competition there with Raphaël Varane [at centre back], who’s fantastic. That describes everything.
      “No one would be happy with this situation [on the bench].

      “He is not as well. He trains always on [the] best levels, so with 100 per cent effort.
      “So he handles that situation well and he’s in that manner and in his captaincy he’s important for the squad.”
      Following his fall down the pecking order, Ten Hag believes Maguire has a “decision” to make on his future.
      When asked whether the former Leicester star would stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer, the Dutchman replied: “Let’s say I’m happy he’s here and when we needed him he did his job.

      “But it’s also a decision he has to make.”
      After calling Maguire up for his latest International squad, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate warned Maguire: “It’s not a situation that can continue forever.”
      In his interview, Ten Hag also spoke about the likes of David de Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho, detailing their progression throughout the season.
      The former Ajax boss also called on the club to back him in the summer market, after failing to invest in January with the ownership of the club still up in the air.
      He said: “When you see the investment in the Premier League — [in the] summer window we did [spend] as well, to be fair.
      “In the winter window, we didn’t do anything. We had loan players [Wout Weghorst, Marcel Sabitzer and Jack Butland] but when you look around, all the other clubs invested to be in the top four and we didn’t invest.
      “You can’t ignore that. If you want to be competitive in this league, you have to invest. I need signings, yes.”
      Ten Hag also appeared to hint Mason Greenwood, who saw attempted rape and assault charges dropped in February, could sensationally stay at United.

      It came on the topic of needing more firepower, with Ten Hag saying Greenwood “showed in the past that he is capable” of performing the striker role.
      However, he emphasised Greenwood’s future was not up to him. More

      Although De Gea is an elite shot-stopper, he still struggles with his footwork.
      And, despite winning the Golden Glove for the most clean sheets in the Premier League, he has committed a number of costly blunders this season while trying to carry out his manager’s tactics.
      The ex-Ajax boss admitted the Spain international had to “step up” but insists he is happy with his progress.
      Ten Hag added: “It’s not what I want, it’s more what top football demands nowadays.

      But if the United keeper agrees to renew he will have to accept a substantial pay cut.
      SunSport recently revealed the Spaniard has a new deal on the table, which would see his present £375,000-a-week basic salary drop by nearly 50 per cent. More
