      If Bayern Munich come calling for Harry Kane this summer, he should go to win some trophies, says former Liverpool star

      by

      FORMER Liverpool and Tottenham star Danny Murphy has called on Harry Kane to quit Spurs this summer for Bayern Munich. The striker has been one of the most prolific in Europe for many years but is yet to win a trophy in his senior career.

      Several reports have linked him with a move to the Allianz Arena but Kane has stayed put – and is now closing in on the all-time outright Spurs scoring record.
      But Murphy believes he must jump ship at the end of the season if given the chance.
      The pundit told the Mail: “If Bayern Munich come calling for Harry Kane this summer, he should go. It would be hugely sad if a player of his quality finished without winning a trophy. It’s something he himself would regret after retirement.
      “When I reflect on my career, the best memories are those at Liverpool winning something; the joy at the final whistle, celebrating with team-mates and supporters, the parties and parades afterwards.

      “That is what you work so hard for and unfortunately Spurs are no nearer giving Kane what he deserves as a world-class striker.
      “He turns 30 this summer, it’s getting to that now-or-never stage but it shows how good his form is that one of the biggest clubs in Europe are still interested.”
      Kane has been in fantastic form this season and finds himself only behind Erling Haaland in the Premier League scoring charts.
      The England international has found the net 16 times compared to Haaland’s 25 goals.

      And it is not only Bayern who are believed to want him with reports signalling that Manchester United may also weigh up a summer move.
      However Murphy believes Germany is the best option for the Spurs man.
      He added: “I’m sure Kane would get other offers. Manchester United have been mentioned but he hasn’t got time to be part of a team that is building.
      “If he was going to leave Spurs, it would be primarily to win trophies from the get-go which would make Bayern his best option.”
      Kane has regularly hit 20 goals or more since breaking on to the scene in the 2014-15 season.
      And with his contract up at the end of next season, chairman Daniel Levy and the Spurs hierarchy will be desperate to not lose him for free.
      Kane had previously appeared to be heading towards the exit door in the summer of 2021 as a dispute broke out over a “gentleman’s agreement” he had with the club.
      But he stayed put and today could pass Greave’s goal record if he scores against Manchester City. More

      The centre back has started only four league games this season, with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane the manager’s first choice partnership.
      Yet Ten Hag told Maguire this week that he will have lots of openings over the second half of the season, as United chase silverware on four fronts.
      The Dutchman has been impressed by Maguire’s attitude in training and how he has reacted to losing his place in recent weeks.
      And Ten Hag has reassured him that United’s hectic fixture schedule in the second half of the season will offer more opportunities to play.

      They already face playing eight games this month, with the prospect of a hectic March schedule to come if they win their Europa League play-off against Barcelona.
      Inter were just one of a host of clubs to inquire about Maguire, who started all five of England’s fixtures in Qatar, but has kicked off just three of United’s since the World Cup.
      The £85million ex-Leicester star came on for the final minutes as ten-man United held on to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at home on Saturday.
      Ten Hag shored up his backline as the Eagles poured forward late on following a red card for Red Devils’ midfielder Casemiro.

      But Maguire and Co kept them out as United went third.
      Meanwhile, Diogo Dalot will be offered a treble-your-money deal to keep him at Old Trafford for another five years.
      Dalot, 23, is keen to stay but is one of the lowest-paid members of the squad, on around £30,000 a week.
      There have been further talks on increased terms over the past week, and United are confident he will commit until 2028, on £85,000 plus bonuses. More

      by

      The result of the red card will see Casemiro miss United’s next three domestic games, which come against Leeds (home and away) and Leicester City.
      However, United fans are now hoping that the suspension can be overturned after fan footage showed a different side of the altercation.
      The footage shows Casemiro and Hughes laughing off the incident after the scuffle between the two sides ends.
      And with the reaction of the two, fans are convinced that there was less violent conduct involved.

      One tweeted: “I think it gets turned if United appeals it.”
      A second wrote: “Bloody hell. Casemiro and Hughes are laughing about it.”
      A third commented: “This must be the first case where a player has been sent off for violent conduct and the player ‘assaulted’ doesn’t react and then hugs his attacker.”
      A fourth said: “Come on that’s not violent conduct in any way shape or form.”

      A fifth added: “Without knowing, if someone showed you this and told you one of the players involved gets a straight red and three-game ban, you’re not guessing Casemiro.
      “The slowed-down angle used by VAR admittedly looked far worse, but from this angle it’s almost laughable.”
      After the game, manager Erik ten Hag slammed Marriner for his lack of inconsistency in the match as he did not show Jordan Ayew a red card for a similar offence.
      He said: “The player from Crystal Palace takes a big risk by this foul – that he get badly injured – by pushing him over the line.
      “Everyone is reacting, Crystal Palace players and Man United players, and not only Casemiro.
      “There was one of the players, he did even worse than Casemiro.
      “You have to be consistent.”
      The red card did make the game harder for United as their two-goal lead was halved, but thy held on for the win. More

      United’s improvements under Ten Hag have been built on his ruthlessness both on and off the pitch.
      And he’s set to continue with that attitude with the Mirror claiming that a mass exodus could happen at the end of the season.
      Harry Maguire could be the first out the door having fallen behind both Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in the pecking order.
      The United captain was linked with a move away from the club in January and hasn’t been able to show his best form for some time.

      Midfielders Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek will be joining them with the former starting once in the Prem since the Manchester derby on October 2, while the Dutchman’s time at Old Trafford has been a nightmare.
      The report also claims that Anthony Martial, who’s struggled to stay fit this campaign, will also be moved on.
      Martial has scored six goals in only 722 minutes of action this season, but he’s lost his place in the team to Marcus Rashford and Wout Weghorst.
      Meanwhile, loanees Eric Bailly and Alex Telles are also likely to have played their last games for United.

      While confronting Hughes, with United holding a 2-0 advantage over the visitors, Casemiro placed his hands around Hughes’ neck.
      VAR then reviewed the incident and instructed referee Andre Marriner to show Casemiro a straight red – the first of his club and international career.
      Palace did manage to pull a goal back through Jeffrey Schlupp – but it proved to be too little too late.
      Casemiro’s moment of madness has fans all saying the same thing: United’s star man will be fresh and ready for the Europa League double header against Barcelona AND the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.

      The midfielder will miss the home and away league games against Leeds, as well as a home clash with Leicester City.
      United are taking on Barca in the Round of 32 on February 16 and 23, and since Casemiro’s suspension is domestic, he can play in these games.
      A Wembley dust-up with Newcastle for the League Cup will then take place three days later on the 26th and Casemiro will be suspension-free.
      One fan said: “Could do without Casemiro missing games but if there’s any silver lining, it’s that Ten Hag wouldn’t have rested him so at least he’s fresher for Barca.

      Glazers could delay sale of Man Utd after success of Ten Hag’s rebuild as hated owners ‘want to hold out for $10BILLION’

      by

      THE GLAZERS could reportedly delay the sale of Manchester United following the on-pitch success of Erik ten Hag, which could see the price of the club rise to over £8billion.The Red Devils chiefs revealed in November that they were willing to listen to offers for either a stake in the Premier League giants or an outright purchase.

      But United look to be on an upwards trend.
      Ten Hag’s Man Utd are in the Carabao Cup final, which they will contest later this month against Newcastle, and they’re well in the race for a top-four finish.
      And according to ESPN, due to Ten Hag getting a tune out of the Red Devils, the Glazers could delay the sale of the Old Trafford club.
      Some within the ownership group believe that the value of the club could skyrocket if Ten Hag steers his team into a lengthy successful patch.

      The report states that United as it stands, could still be bought for a world-record price for a sports franchise at close to £6bn.
      Should Ten Hag keep United competitive, crucially through a period that could see a redeveloped or rebuilt Old Trafford, the Glazers may be able to fetch £8bn.
      The Mirror, meanwhile, say “in one final cruel twist of pain”, the Glazers are planning to leave behind the £500million debts they have accrued at Old Trafford.
      Since the May 2005 takeover, they have taken out around £1.6bn in dividends and management charges, debt repayments and share sales.
