      Alan Shearer wants Harry Kane to seal Newcastle transfer and break his Prem goalscoring record ahead of Man Utd

      by

      ALAN SHEARER put the cat among the pigeons – or Magpies – by wondering if Harry Kane will join Newcastle over Manchester United.Gary Lineker warned 260-goal Prem record scorer Shearer that Kane is “coming for you” – after the Tottenham striker hit his 208th on Sunday.

      And social media joined in the teasing as well as the transfer speculation.
      Spurs hope to keep Kane but United boss Erik ten Hag wants a new world-class No 9.
      The England skipper and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen are regarded as prime targets – at around £100million.
      And after Lineker posted his jibe at Shearer – complete with a winking emoji – the Toon icon responded: “But will he break it in a Newcastle shirt or a Man Utd shirt!!?”

      One fan urged Kane: “Go abroad and leave the legend as top scorer of all time!”
      But another Magpies supporter said: “I’d love him here. He’s a beast of a striker. He’d score a boat load here.”
      The Toon, however, are on a free-scoring high in third place, Callum Wilson netting twice in Sunday’s 3-1 comeback win over Southampton.
      One fan claimed: “Surely Newcastle wouldn’t want him. Have Wilson and (Alexander) Isak already.”

      Some observers believe the Magpies have little chance of luring Kane anyway – as the Red Devils will be so desperate to sign him.
      Such views included: “Think Man Utd will do everything possible to get him for next season!”
      And a neutral posted: “Definitely a Man Utd shirt. U have Isak.”
      Kane suffered more frustration the field as Spurs slumped to a last-gasp 4-3 loss at Liverpool this weekend.
      Tottenham recovered from being 3-0 down inside 15 minutes, inspired by Kane’s 39th-minute volley.
      But after Richarlison levelled three minutes into stoppage time, Diogo Jota slotted a calm winner for the Reds.
      And although Kane is now level with Wayne Rooney as the Prem’s second-highest scorer ever, one fan hinted at why the 29-year-old might consider moving: “208 goals 0 trophies.” More

      Kane, 29, has 14 months remaining on his Tottenham deal, and figures within the club are growing doubtful over whether he will pen a new one.
      According to the Telegraph, the England skipper would consider seeing out his deal at Tottenham before leaving on a free transfer.
      Man United would be willing to offer him a £100,000 boost on his current £200k-a-week Spurs deal.
      While players leaving on free transfers can often command huge signing-on-fees.

      Red Devils fans sang “we’ll see you in June” at Kane during last night’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
      United chiefs were encouraged after a positive meeting with the striker’s representatives via intermediaries last month.
      But they would like to complete a deal quickly, and avoid a long drawn-out summer transfer saga.
      The Red Devils have experienced difficult negotiations with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy in the past, while recruiting Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Carrick.

      Should Levy fail to accept a bid prior to the beginning of pre-season, United could turn to other targets.
      Asked about United fans’ chants last night, Kane refused to be drawn.
      He said: “I heard what they were saying but I’m just focused on this team and trying to finish strongly.”
      Spurs’ all-time leading scorer then opened up on what went on at Spurs earlier this week, with Cristian Stellini having been sacked as acting head coach on Monday.
      He said: “The chairman asked for a meeting. Obviously I won’t go into what was said but I think it was important [for him] to understand where the players’ heads were at that moment.
      “Obviously coming off the back of that result. And it wasn’t just that result. It had been building up since the international break when we conceded the two goals against Southampton.
      “It was an honest conversation of where everyone is at and what we need to try to do to give us the best possible chance to finish the season with something.
      “We’re still fighting for fourth place but if it’s not fourth we’ll try to finish fifth or sixth, as high up as we can.
      “In this league, it’s so competitive, you can easily end up 8th or 9th if you’re not careful. That’s what it was – to give us the best chance. And I’m glad we reacted like that today.”

      How Man Utd could line up with Neymar and Harry Kane after stunning double transfer swoop

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could make a sensational summer bid for Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar and Tottenham star Harry Kane.SunSport understand United could pull off a double megadeal if Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani takes over the club from the Glazers.

      Sheikh Jassim is eyeing a marquee signing to show his intention of restoring the Red Devils at the top of the Premier League as well as Europe.
      And the Qatari billionaire is planning to start with Neymar, who could be on his way out of PSG due to a raft of injuries, his mammoth salary and club’s decision to change direction.
      A move for the Brazil international does not necessarily rule out a bid for long-time target Kane.
      The England captain is still thought to be at the top of United’s transfer list this summer.

      If the two world class forwards arrive at Old Trafford then manager Erik ten Hag would have a star-studded line-up at his disposal.
      Neymar could cover the right wing and Kane would spearhead the attack with star man Marcus Rashford moving to his natural position down the left.
      Ten Hag’s 4-3-3 formation would see David de Gea starting in goal with Diogo Dalot at right-back and Luke Shaw on the other side, while Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane would team up at centre-back.
      The Dutch tactician would have a star trio in attack but also a stunning partnership in midfield with Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen linking up.

      Neymar and Kane could be joined by more summer transfers at Manchester United

      It is fair to assume that Sheikh Jassim would invest heavily on his first year at United if he took over.
      Therefore there could still be more signings, such as Brentford’s David Raya and Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong.
      Raya could succeed De Gea in goal as the legendary goalkeeper’s contract runs out in June and an extension depends on the Spain international accepting a lower salary.
      Frimpong could take Dalot’s place at right-back as the Portugal international has yet to agree on a new deal with his contract running out next year.
      And of course Sheikh Jassim could still go for Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham, who would form a devastating midfield partnership with Casemiro and Fernandes. More

      The comeback stopped the rot at Spurs after last weekend’s 6-1 thrashing at Newcastle – a game which led the squad to refund supporters who had the trip to the North East.
      Following that debacle, which led to interim boss Cristian Stellini being replaced by Ryan Mason for the rest of the campaign, the club’s chairman met with the players.
      Kane explained: “The chairman asked for a meeting. Obviously I won’t go into what was said but I think it was important [for him] to understand where the players’ heads were at that moment.

      The Red Devils were two up in North London thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford at half time.
      But Spurs fought back to earn a point against United thanks to strikes from Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son.
      United had a great chance to go 3-1 up when Bruno Fernandes brilliantly nutmegged Tottenham defender Clement Lenglet inside the area but then rifled his strike back off the bar.
      And it was while discussing this piece of magic from the Portuguese ace that the legendary United defender slipped up trying to say the Spurs’ star’s name.

      Maguire is sidelined with injury and instead, Luke Shaw has shifted over to centre-back.
      And covering at left-back is Diogo Dalot, despite regularly playing on the right.
      Shaw partners Victor Lindelof with Raphael Varane also out with an ankle injury that threatens to rule him out for the rest of the season.
      And Lisandro Martinez has already been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign following a broken metatarsal bone in his foot.

      It is not the first time Shaw has moved to a central position this season, having played there numerous times.

      United are five points above fifth-placed Aston Villa – with three games in hand.
