Former Man Utd defender Paul Parker claims comparisons between Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Teddy Sheringham make “no sense”.
The Red Devils are in need of a new striker in the summer transfer window with Erik ten Hag keen to take some of the goalscoring burden away from Marcus Rashford.
Cristiano Ronaldo left the club at the end of November following his controversial interview with Piers Morgan with Man Utd having to wait until January to bring in a temporary replacement.
Wout Weghorst arrived from Championship leaders Burnley on a season-long loan deal but it’s extremely doubtful that the Netherlands international will stay beyond the end of the season.

“I want to hear Harry Kane say that he wants to win a league title and a Champions League. If he is saying that one day, I might start to believe that he actually wants to leave Spurs and go to a club who can fight for these kinds of trophies.
