Rumours have already emerged of United considering sending Jesse Lingard or Anthony Martial to North London to cut down the reported £150million price tag.
And former defender Neville has named Daniel James as another potential makeweight that could push through a deal, adding that the club’s fringe talent gives them an edge over City in the race for Kane.
The 46-year-old told Sky Sports: “It’s difficult.
“City don’t tend to break their budget, do they? [Their record is] £65m-£70m – they’re not going to get him for that.
“So it’s whether they could get a player to Tottenham that would makeweight the deal.
“And I think that’s what United maybe have in Martial, James and Lingard.

However the pundit was not convinced that he would push hard for a move and would ‘not be surprised’ if Kane stayed at Tottenham.

“I don’t know what part of the interview people think he said that.
“He said there was a conversation to be had and if the chairman wants to accept a bid for him. He never said he wanted to leave.
“I think he’s obviously at a point in his career where it’s a reflection point. It’s the same for Tottenham as well I would think.”
