Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle has admitted nobody would "begrudge" a move away from Spurs for Harry Kane this summer.
It's understood Erik ten Hag has earmarked Kane as Manchester United's prime striker target, as he looks to add a natural goalscorer to his squad after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and due to Anthony Martial's poor injury record.
Kane, who is out of contract in 2024, celebrates his 30th birthday in the summer, but his record in the Premier League is outstanding and he recently became the all-time top goalscorer for his club and country.

Only Erling Haaland has more league goals than Kane (21) this term and he would be an obvious solution to United's lack of firepower.
Tottenham legend Hoddle has also claimed Spurs fans would not begrudge him a move away in an effort to win a trophy.
"Trophies are the icing on the cake for footballers," Hoddle told Betfair. "There are players out there who have won silverware because they were half-decent players playing in a team that won things. You can't say those players are better than Harry Kane.
"So I don't think we should get too carried away with Harry not winning trophies. Harry has got the best out of his career and is continuing to do so - winning a trophy would just be the icing on the cake.
"We don't know if he'll get a move at 34 years old and win his first trophy, that remains to be seen. I'd love to see him win one at Tottenham but if he had to move then nobody would begrudge him. He's been patient with Tottenham.
"He's now at a crossroads and he either signs another long-term deal in the hope things change at Spurs, or he has to sit down and tell them he wants to leave. Things need to be worked out because he does deserve to win a trophy.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he thought he had to move and if the opportunity to do so is there, which it will be, then it also wouldn't surprise me to see him leave."
