Rio Ferdinand urges Tottenham to sell Harry Kane NOW as he calls on Man United to take advantage of Spurs’ turmoil… as visiting fans chant ‘we’ll see you in June’ at the England captain in Premier League clash
Rio Ferdinand has insisted that he would be surprised if Manchester United haven’t already started holding talks over a move for Harry Kane this summer.
The Red Devils have strongly been linked with a move for the Tottenham star, whose contract at the club expires next summer.
Kane made the starting XI for Tottenham this evening in their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
During the first-half, United fans could reportedly be heard chanting ‘Harry Kane, we’ll see you in June’.
The matter was addressed before the game, with United legend Ferdinand insisting that United need to take advantage of Tottenham’s ‘turmoil’.

He told BT Sport: ‘If there aren’t conversations going on in the corridors of power about Kane then I’d be surprised.’
Ferdinand then joked: ‘Sell now before the season even finishes. Manchester United have to be looking at the turmoil that Tottenham are in.’
His comments come at a time where Tottenham are coming off the back off a heavy 6-1 defeat to top-four rivals Newcastle.
Manchester United look to be in a solid position to secure a top-four finish, but there is a big gap between them and Man City and Arsenal towards the top.
When asked if United win the league if Kane makes the switch to Old Trafford, Ferdinand responded: ‘They get closer than where they are now.’
Ferdinand then said that it was ‘too long’ for Kane and United to wait another a year for his contract to expire in 2024, stating the striker was ‘exactly what they need’.
At half-time of their clash tonight, United held a 2-0 lead after goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
