Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero believes Harry Kane will beat Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League goalscoring record if he signs for Manchester United this summer.
MEN Sport understands Erik ten Hag has made the Tottenham Hotspur talisman his main centre-forward target in the transfer window as he looks to strengthen his frontline. However, the Reds are working under the assumption Spurs will not be selling Kane.
Currently, Newcastle legend Shearer leads the way in the Premier League goalscoring charts with 260 goals to his name. However, Kane is only just behind on 213 and according to Aguero, the forward will surpass Shearer if he transfers to another English top-flight club.
Speaking to Stake.com, the 35-year-old said: "He has everything to achieve it. Although it will be necessary to see what happens in the transfer market.
