Despite Manchester United’s interest in Tottenham striker Harry Kane, Paul Scholes has warned his former club against signing the striker because he is ‘happy where he is.’
It’s no secret that Erik ten Hag is looking to bring in a new centre-forward to support Marcus Rashford next season, with Kane, along with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford.
However, Scholes believes they will ultimately be forced to look for alternatives to the Spurs captain, even with rumours circulating that he could look to leave the London club this summer.
Indeed, The 29-year-old became Tottenham’s all-time goalscorer this season but he has still never won a major trophy – something that he is allegedly desperate to do before the end of his career.

“I think there are other players than can chip in, Sancho, Antony, Garnacho… you’ve got to try and get them up to 15 goals if you want a team that can challenge for a league title,” he added.
“When I was playing we’d have four strikers trying to get 80 goals between them, if Marcus is doing that on his own and the others aren’t chipping in around him it’s very difficult.
“If Anthony Martial can stay fit, which is a very big if, he’s got 20-25 goals in him as well if he plays a full season. I do think he [Ten Hag] will go into the transfer market, but he also needs to try and get more out of…
