Man Utd told to fight for Harry Kane transfer as Tottenham feel heat of contract issue

Manchester United would be a great fit for Harry Kane and the Red Devils should fight hard to secure his signature amid the uncertainty surrounding his future, according to Louis Saha.

The former United striker believes Kane, 29, would slot straight into Erik ten Hag's side should he decide to leave Tottenham. Kane, who has scored 15 Premier League goals this season, has less than 18 months left on his deal at Spurs and doesn't look like signing a new contract any time soon.

United could be in the market for a new striker in the summer when Wout Weghorst's loan expires, after the Dutchman made the move to Old Trafford until the end of the season. Kane has been linked with a switch to the Red Devils in the past and Saha believes it would be a match made in heaven.

The Frenchman told Paddy Power: "We all know that football careers go by super-fast, and you have to take your chance when you get it. It seems like Harry Kane is still improving. His quality is there for everyone to see. He knows where the goal is, and he knows how to stay composed. He always picks the right pass, and we can argue that he gets let down by his teammates.

"I would say that the set-up against Arsenal [in Spurs' defeat last Sunday] was so frustrating because he needed more support, and they needed more fire in the last third of the field. It was sad to see.

"Based on history, Manchester United would be a great fit for Harry Kane. He would be guaranteed 30 goals a season and he would have a better chance of winning a trophy.

"They also have so much quality in midfield in Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. I can only see positives about going there because they’re such a forward-thinking team. It would really suit his game."
