Manchester United are interested in a mega summer swoop for Tottenham striker Harry Kane.
Erik ten Hag has put a new No 9 at the top of his summer recruitment plans and England captain Kane is among the club’s preferred options. Kane’s future is once again gearing up to become one of the transfer sagas of the summer.
Sportsmail has learned United chiefs have already started exploring the particulars attached to a potential move for Kane at the end of the season. Sources have indicated that Kane is open to joining United, news that will encourage Old Trafford chiefs.

The 29-year-old enters the final 12 months of his contract at the end of the season. Tottenham would like to extend Kane’s current deal, but there is negativity about their chances of persuading the striker to sign fresh terms.
How Tottenham finish the season, particularly whether they qualify for the Champions League, will be a factor in whether the north London club tempt their talismanic striker to re-commit.
That leaves chairman Daniel Levy with the prospect of finally considering offers for the club’s prized asset or risk losing him for nothing next year. Nevertheless, Spurs are set to place a minimum £85million price tag on Kane.
That figure is likely to increase for a rival Premier League side given Levy’s reluctance to sell Kane to a domestic rival. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have both been credited with a serious interest in Kane in recent weeks.
