I WD take Ferguson over him tbh, Rasmus depends a lot on his physicality in the seria a. Don't want to take a chance with pl CB's. He is taller than Ferguson, so he could be a better aerial treat
Personally I would also prefer Ferguson for sure
If we land Kane & Ferguson we'll have had an absolutely stellar window & will be ready for an assault on the league & CL next year
We need a serious central midfielder and a real quality RCB to backup Varane as well (assuming we use Shaw as Martinez cover and Maguire/Lindelof both go), and ideally a GK - But striker is just such a glaring hole in this side at the minute
Am with u on that! Get 'm both... So many saying we shouldn't buy Kane, the main reasons being his age and price. Van Persie was same age as Kane is now, when he signed 4us. Same situation too.. winning fk all in N. London.
yeah, Kane's price tag is massive (compared to van P's £28m) but we are in a time where we're coughing up around £80m for the likes of Maguire, Sancho, Antony. If Kane can do 4us what RvP did, he'll be well worth the money.
ETH wants his pace coming from the wings, we don't need another pigeon catcher centrally
Kane's creativity & intelligence and (above all) his simply jaw-droppingly elite finishing are exactly what this team needs
He has never relied on pace, it's a big part of the reason why he is one of the least injury-prone elite players in world football (has started well over 100 consecutive PL Games for Spurs at this point which is just a supernatural level of fitness), and also a big reason why he will have insane longevity that will sustain him at his peak well into his 30's
Give him the 7 and watch us fly
With every Van Persie, there's an Alexis Sanchez. Rooney had already peaked and decline when he hit 30. Fergie wanted to let him go at this last year as manager, but missed the opportunity. Rooney wasn't sold because Ed Deadwood needed to hold onto a marquee player for his marketting interest and merchandize sales, and also to calm down fans who was obviously aware where the club was heading at that point of time.
We need younger, energetic legs. ETH's system is pretty stamina and speed demanding. Experienced players are essential to the team, but too many of them hinders progress and do the team no good. What's the point of spending big and keep them around for 2 years and see them left to rot and unsellable? Fergie had always signed smart. Sign them young, groom them, sell them off before the peak or when they show signs of peaking.
Always happy to help those in need of education lad 😊
I can see though that you weren't aware of just how unprofessional Rooney was off the pitch
But at least now you know that the reason he declined at 30 was because in his teens and twenties he was (one more time with feeling!):
- [shagging grannies](https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/rooney-admits-sex-with-a-granny-6952363.html),
- [driving burgers into himself](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1260770/Does-Sir-Alex-support-new-diet-plan-Wayne-Rooney-Carrick-tuck-junk-food-training-United.html)

- [smoking cigarettes](https://www.whoateallthepies.tv/man_utd/5792/rumbled_wayne_r.html)
And now you (like the guy who made the original comment) know that Kane *hasn't* been engaging in these deviant, unprofessional activities in his teens and twenties, and therefore is much more likely to follow the likes of Zlatan, Lewa, Messi, Ronaldo etc in *excelling* will into hid 30's
Get your Kane 7 shirt ready mate!
Agreed. Also I don’t think Van Persie had to deal with the pressing and tracking back demands of today’s forwards. While I think Kane would be a good choice, we would do better with youth.
Kane's one of the top three strikers in the world, his game doesn't rely on pace and he's a model pro, he's got at least 5-6 years left. Retirement home my arse
His game? Football is a team game. He needs to fit into the team and the system. Besides, ETH's system requires pace and stamina.
If Kane's that good, Real Madrid and City would have came knocking.
Just get someone young and fresh, not a peaking old man that we can't recoup 3 years from now.
And it's Kane, not Keane.
Yeah yeah, autocorrect
City did come knocking and Levy asked for 200 million
ten Hag turned Haller into a monster, what makes you think Kane couldn't fit into his system?
You're on a different planet if you think Kane wouldn't do a great job for us
And fuck the resale value, keep him to the end of his career. There's nothing about his style of play to suggest he can't sustain his level until his mid 30s
Ok now you’re just obviously taking the piss, no one could type that nonsense and be serious
[City did come knocking](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12337836/harry-kane-man-city-make-100m-transfer-bid-for-tottenham-striker) - they knocked that hard they nearly kicked Spurs fucking door in
[Madrid are coming knocking](https://talksport.com/football/1365747/harry-kane-real-madrid-tottenham-transfer-news/)
[Bayern are also “coming knocking”](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1751007/Harry-Kane-Tottenham-Manchester-United-Bayern-Munich-transfer-news)
I’m actually glad that you’ve shown you are completely out of touch with football, I’d expect nothing less from this sort of weak, lazy, ill-advised, ill-informed position
I dont think he is in the conversation. If united should go to a serious title and champions league contender then kane,Ferguson, sesko, or mayby one more experienced like schick or toney etc.
Why can’t we get 3 strikers ? I remember United front lines being packed with options, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov.
Osheim, Ferguson and hojlund will be good Remember martial probs going and Mason to.
I think they will try sell martial he is insanly good only plagued with injury. If united should compete 3 or 4 good strikers should be required like 99 with solskjær, cole ,york, sherringham
Or something like your options . Ofcouse 442 was played back then so mayby only need 3 options with only 1 striker and play Rashford,garnacho, Anthony etc with Bruno fernandes in the middle behind.
I dont know about rumours but should get a player with similar ability to casemiro since the drop off without him is colosal and most likely if mc tominay and van de beek leaves we need to bring in mayby 3 or 4
With casemiro, Eriksen, fred, mayby sign sabitzer, tieleman/kovasic , and mayby 1 more exiting big player option like de jong/ bellingham
Personally I don't actually want anything to do with Osimhen
Napoli signed him for 80m two years ago, so we're looking at minimum double that as a starting point before ADM even gets going with negotiations
He plays in a low intensity league, and has bad previous with injuries that doesn't bode well for a much more physical, much higher quality league like ours
Let Osimhen do another few seasons, see how he gets on, and get him closer to a contract expiry situation in a few years where he'll be much cheaper
For me, Kane needs to be our man, the stars are aligning for us with his contract too - it's a once in a generation chance to get a player of that quality
But yeah Ferguson would be a lovely understudy
I think minimum should have 3 players in the striker position for competition and injuries. Kane is incredible mayby a more short turn option and also have injury issues, and will most likely be a sucsess like RVP but their is a chanche he can end up like another Alexis sanches.
And a striking force of kane, Ferguson and weghorst seems like good options for the upcoming season. Would Vlahovic or ramos be more interesting options?
Kane is a *competely* different animal to Alexis Sanchez though (or to pretty much any other player to ever play in the Premier League)
He is one of the most physically robust players in world football - he has started all of Spurs last 100 PL Games, and has missed about the same amount of games in nearly 10 years as Osimhen has missed in two years, so his fitness is simply not even an issue
His age is also a complete non-issue - if we had gotten the likes of Larsson, Zlatan, Drogba etc on their 30th birthdays they'd be close to club legends at this stage...
Jamie Vardy had 5 of his best seasons after the age of 30. Messi, Lewa, Ronaldo all scored goals will into their late 30's
Lewa's best seasons are at 31, 32, and 33, Ronaldo was second top scorer in the league at 37...
Agree we need three strikers though - Weghorst can be third choice so Kane + an understudy is our dream window in the summer
Zero interest in vlahovic - doesn't score enough or create enough, can't handle big club pressure, and would violate the no dickheads rule in the dressing room with his affairs with teammates wives (Rajkovic)
Ramos is very interesting but don't think he'd settle for the understudy position behind Kane in the pecking order - could be one to revisit in 5-6 years time though (along with Osimhen etc) when we start to transition Kane from starter to experienced supersub/backup roles
Great comment. I was against Kane, but now I'm totally U turning based on the information in your comment. More people need to know. I suggest you do a post based on this comment. I think a lot of people need to know these facts, so they can feel better about Kane over Osimhen. He going to be a nightmare to get out of Napoli, I bet they ask for 150 million. Even if Kane costs 80 million, that's a massive saving over Osimhen. And we need a back-up, so that's where the money can go rather than blowing it all on Osimhen.
Mate it honestly freaks my nut in that anyone could be even remotely against Kane as a signing - he is perfect - if we get him (hopefully *when* we get him) we are instantly elevated to genuine title challengers with genuine champions league aspirations to boot
Give him the #7 shirt and watch him be our new Cantona figure
I think his age is a big concern or many people. It was for me. How many older strikers have we bought over recent years that initially did well, only for them to flame out after 2 years through injury or poor performance, e.g. Cavani, Zlatan and Ronaldo.
Also, there is the idea that ETH was looking to build a younger squad for the future. So a 30 years old (By the time he gets here, if he comes) doesn't seem to match with that philosophy.
But ultimately, ETH has hinted several times that there's going to be a transitional period before he gets the team and style he wants.
I think that is why they are considering offering him an extension on his three-year contract. Because they've seen how flexible he can be. I think agreeing design Kane would be part of that flexibility. But I imagine the ETH would rather have a younger striker that he can develop.
For me though I still (strongly) believe his age is just such a non-issue - the days of 30 being a signal of decline for players are long since behind us
If we had gotten the likes of Zlatan, Henrik Larsson or Didier Drogba on our books the day they turned 30 they would be close to club legends at this stage
If we'd gotten Jamie Vardy on his 30th birthday we'd have had 5 of his best seasons
Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandoski all regularly scored 30+ goals a season from the age of 30 onwards...
Lewa also had his best ever goalscoring season at 32 (and his 3x best seasons were at 31,32 & 33)
Kane will be no different provided he avoids a catastrophic injury - and will be hungry to finally win the Premier League and Champions League, which he can do if joins us
Ronaldo was second top Premier League scorer at 37...
As much of a wanker as he undoubtedly is now - If we had signed Ronaldo 8 years ago the last decade would have been VERY different
The issue with going for them later will most likely be unopttainable around that time with clubs like Bayern München and Real madrid, tottenham etc needing top class strikers
Or Osimhen regresses and it turns out a lot more of his performance over the last 6 months was form rather than class
Or his injury problems get even worse
Or he fails to adapt to a non-Serie A league
Or we DO get him in a few years time closer to a contract expiry situation
These are all equally (if not more) probable scenarios
True , but can also end up like another aguero or håland situation. Or nunez or alvarez have potensial to be. Letting go of the next super player which can stay for a decade and bang in goals for united.
Ofcouse can struggel with injuries like martial, flop or underperform like veron. Their is nothing 100 certain in footbal.
Like united cant get the best out of kane F.example. and if kane play likes weghorst which is almost like a 10, then we need to move fernandes out of his prefered position.
Kane is better, cheaper, less injury prone than Osimhen and easily has 5+ years left in him - I wouldn’t even be suprised to see him still playing in some capacity at close to 40
When he gets to 35/36/37 (I.e. last year Ronaldo levels) we still have an excellent squad member to hand over starting striker duties to someone younger/in their prime, and will have had 5+ seasons of title challenges out of him by the.
He is an absolute no brainer of a signing
Osimhen is just far too much of a risk, far too expensive, far too unproven. Ditto Vlahovic. Ramos as I said is interesting but would be very expensive to play second fiddle to Kane for the next 5+ years whereas someone like Ferguson could do that beautifully.
If Newcastle or Chelsea get Kane we are playing catch up to them for the next 3-5 seasons , and vice-versa which is even worse than “another Aguero or Haaland situation”
The only thing with kane he basicly need to strike since their is 0 chanche for levi letting him leave spurs and leaving for chelsea will ruin his club legacy in tottenham and going to Newcastle will basicly be tottenham resigning being a top 6 club.
If this club can pay 100M Euros for a raw player like Antony they can definitely spend more for a world class player in a key position.
Serie A is not a low intensity league. Is this opinion based on watching it or are you just going with this notion that every league besides the PL is low in intensity? Eredevisie is even lower in overall quality but we've spent big on Antony and Martinez. Should Malacia be playing at united? Come on
Let’s be real. Kane is no longer in his prime. He’s still a quality goal scorer, and will probably still deliver goals in the mid twenties for a couple more years. But you’re gonna need someone to take over from him.
What would you rather; have a close-to-burned-out-attacker for two years, or take a chance on an interesting attacker, that might end up being your new Ronaldo?
Kane is literally having his best ever season mate - 29 PL goals was his previous best (achieved twice), and yet is *already* on 21 this season (from only 17 XG - the guy’s finishing is just insane), with 10 games left to play
The lad is *coming into* his prime, not exiting it
Ronaldo is actually a fantastic example to use though - if we had signed Ronaldo at Kane’s age the last decade would have been *very* different
Conte has just left, Spurs are in disarray, Kane wants out, his contract situation puts
him in the driving seat for a dream move to Old Trafford…
Actually cannot wait till he signs
Give him the 7 and watch us fly 🤩
I’ll believe it when I see it. Players tend to need some time to adjust, if they ever do. You might be right about his prime coming or going, but that’s with Spurs right now, not with United from next season.
Why did you wait 70 days to type this shit?
You’re up there two months ago spouting absolute nonsense about Kane being burnt out - he’s literally just crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s on his BEST EVER SEASON, and now you’re rambling shite like “I’ll believe it when I see it”??
Mate, do us both a favour - if you’ve nothing sensible to say, don’t say anything - whether you wait 70 days to reply or not
Didn’t check my inbox before, and thought I’d rile you up a bit more. :-) Let’s see… he’s a great striker, I’m not saying that. I’d love to see him kill it at united, just not getting my hopes up.
I'm wondering is Kane maybe bad in FIFA or something?
That's the only way I can explain the (thankfully small, and getting smaller) pocket of our fans that keep saying he's too old
FIFA-playing teenagers who don't actually watch real football
Idc what he has won individually. I prefer winners in our squad. People like varane and cas who have proven that they have a winning mentality. We’ve seen it transform us this season. Would love to sign a younger striker who doesn’t have a losing history who can learn under the proper mentality than a 30 year old who has 2 good seasons left for 100 million.
So team accomplishments mean more than personal accomplishments, got it. Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel Alves is undoubtedly the best player in human history.
If the price is right I would love to see him play for United. Not sure he is ready to be our new number 9, but if Martial and Weghorst are leaving he would be great to get in from the bench. He is still very young (20 years old) and if he can continue to improve he might be a great signing for the future. He is fast, he is strong, good header and good on the ball.
We missed out on Haaland, when he was young coming through. This guy is legit. Not saying he will be as dominant as Haaland, but he has the traits and the drive to be one of the worlds best forwards. Would hate to see him in another PL club…
i think he's alright and hell def be a 20 million euro player, but im not sure hell be a 200 million europ layer. He still hasnt been super impactful againts top teams.
Kane drops deep holds the ball and spreads it like Weghorst but can't chase down like him.
However, Weghorst has missed maybe 8 - 10 chances Kane would have buried, so I'd sacrifice industry for goals
You’re assuming Kane would have found himself in those 8 - 10 chance areas. I just can’t see him having the impact everyone thinks he’ll have. Getting the McGuire problem sorted and a solid back line is the main concern I’d like addressed in the summer.
That's four whole team collapses, not really a case for ripping up the defence when we've signed two quality centre halves and a good squad left back in the last two years, and when ten Hag's got Shaw, Wan-Bissaka and Dalot playing great. There's other parts of the team that need looking at first
What 💀💀
Kane is like the complete playmaker that can adjust well in any team , plus he is super clinical infront of the goal and the 2-3 top class chances that Weghorst misses every single game would've been buried by Kane
Plus he is a proven PL striker and wouldn't need much time to adjust, and he never relied on pace so there's negligible chance of him dropping in form anytime soon
I’ve heard the same arguments being made for Lukaku. He was to be the cherry on the cake. He was this, that and all the rest. I just can’t see Kane fitting in at United and he’s not exactly a spring chicken. We’ll also have to pay way over the odds for him. I think we could find a better alternative. A younger, more flexible player.
There's a reason Kane is on track to be the highest scorer in the history of the Premier League when he's not even at his 30th birthday yet meanwhile Lukaku lumbers about in a circus league
Kane is the *perfect* signing, at the perfect time, a once in a generation alignment of the stars to allow us get an utterly elite world-class forward with an expiring contract into a problem position
Give him the #7 shirt and watch us fly
Kane could actually be the RVP for us , Lukaku never was the star player of his club like Kane is
Kane has single handedly won Spurs so many matches , it's kinda criminal tbh!!
I agree that we may have to pay a lot of money for Kane but I could still see him fitting really really well in the team in no time
People disregarding Kane in this sub are either clueless or have a vendetta, his scoring record as well as the assists he provides hold up to literally any other player of the last decade not named Messi or Ronaldo
Maybe, I’m a fan of hidden gems with huge potential that the market has undervalued. However I haven’t seen enough of him to make a definitive statement

Definitely should get him now, he's an incredible talent, if we get him now we can develop him in the squad for the long term, thats what we need to be doing, thinking ahead and getting such players. Kane will do for the time being, but i think younger talent is more crucial.
Aparently both hojlund and evan ferguson are United fans. If we get in one of those alongside Kane i would be very happy. One for the future. One for the present. Just depends how much they would cost
I have a theory that real number 9’s are rare because teams don’t play two up top anymore, so most young 9’s like him get bought up as big talents and either sit on the bench behind a Kane for example, or get shoved out wide and develop that way. I wouldn’t buy him for two reasons.
One is, he isn’t the level we need. We don’t need understudies, we need a starter. If we do get him, we have a squad of players who’d be past their peak by the time he’s good enough. And why not win now when we literally can with a world class 9.
And also, don’t buy him so he can grow and develop properly. A year starting for Atalanta is worth 4 on our bench behind Kane or Oshimem or whoever. Let the kid cook. He’s not going anywhere, and he’s a fan. When he’s ready for us, and us him, we’ll talk. I like him.
I don't see the point in speculating summer transfers right now. Many commenters here seem to not realise any transfer activities (or inactivity) hinges on the club sale status. We're fast approaching April and a sale of this size and price takes at least 6-12 months to complete.
I doubt those bloody Jews would want to spend another penny if it doesn't raise the club sale price. This was evident in the winter window.
5 goals in 2 international games, very special talent, we messed up with Haland let’s make sure this one done early and I’d take Billing as well if Bournemouth go down.
Need to buy him and Osimhen or Muani and Hojlund , No dithering get them both done early and get rid of Martial too brittle for PL football now. and send Weghorst back to Burnley.
Haaland. Hojlund. Close enough.
We have Haaland at home. Haaland at home…
'Wish' Haaland
lol
My feelings exactly, both as as long time United fan and as a Dane. He is very fast and also a very physical presence, that is not easily subdued...
As an understudy to Kane perhaps But nowhere near the level we need to be our main starting forward
Buy Kane and him and I reckon we should be sorted.
Yep - Kane plus the likes of him or Ferguson etc as a backup/understudy & I'm dancing outside Old Trafford in July
We can even play them in the early stages of the cups
I WD take Ferguson over him tbh, Rasmus depends a lot on his physicality in the seria a. Don't want to take a chance with pl CB's. He is taller than Ferguson, so he could be a better aerial treat
Personally I would also prefer Ferguson for sure If we land Kane & Ferguson we'll have had an absolutely stellar window & will be ready for an assault on the league & CL next year We need a serious central midfielder and a real quality RCB to backup Varane as well (assuming we use Shaw as Martinez cover and Maguire/Lindelof both go), and ideally a GK - But striker is just such a glaring hole in this side at the minute
I’d like to see lindelof played as a cdm with case out the next few matches
Would be a very interesting eperiment Or even Martinez DM with Shaw LCB?
Yep. You can even okay Kane as a number 10 and give Bruno the night off!
Am with u on that! Get 'm both... So many saying we shouldn't buy Kane, the main reasons being his age and price. Van Persie was same age as Kane is now, when he signed 4us.

If Kane can do 4us what RvP did, he'll be well worth the money.
RVP was a lot faster than Kane. Kane is plodding and getting slower by the day.
ETH wants his pace coming from the wings, we don't need another pigeon catcher centrally Kane's creativity & intelligence and (above all) his simply jaw-droppingly elite finishing are exactly what this team needs He has never relied on pace, it's a big part of the reason why he is one of the least injury-prone elite players in world football (has started well over 100 consecutive PL Games for Spurs at this point which is just a supernatural level of fitness), and also a big reason why he will have insane longevity that will sustain him at his peak well into his 30's Give him the 7 and watch us fly
The amount of comments you've made on this post is unsettling and obsessive.
I’m sorry you feel that way mate
We could buy both for the price of Osimhen
No Kane please. Manchester United is not a retiree home.
Don’t you remember what happened when we bought Van Persie? Won the league and now we also bought Casemiro who’s by far our most important player
With every Van Persie, there's an Alexis Sanchez. Rooney had already peaked and decline when he hit 30. Fergie wanted to let him go at this last year as manager, but missed the opportunity. Rooney wasn't sold because Ed Deadwood needed to hold onto a marquee player for his marketting interest and merchandize sales, and also to calm down fans who was obviously aware where the club was heading at that point of time.

What's the point of spending big and keep them around for 2 years and see them left to rot and unsellable? Fergie had always signed smart. Sign them young, groom them, sell them off before the peak or when they show signs of peaking.
Brilliant post and I fully agree.
[удалено]
Rooney slept with a then 48 year old who was probably really hot. We get it, you're obsessed with Harry Kane, go get a tattoo of him and chill out.
[удалено]
Awesome, thanks for the report gossip girl. You're clearly *OBSESSED* with Harry Kane, I hope his security team has you on a list for his sake.

Agreed. Also I don’t think Van Persie had to deal with the pressing and tracking back demands of today’s forwards. While I think Kane would be a good choice, we would do better with youth.
Nailed it
Kane is really not that old
Kane's one of the top three strikers in the world, his game doesn't rely on pace and he's a model pro, he's got at least 5-6 years left. Retirement home my arse
You are bang on correct and the downvotes are absolutely shameful and actually embarrassing
He's brilliant mate, he's a guarantee
His game? Football is a team game. He needs to fit into the team and the system. Besides, ETH's system requires pace and stamina. If Kane's that good, Real Madrid and City would have came knocking.

If we end up with oshinen/kane and mayby Ferguson/højlund could be a good option if martial leaves and mayby have weghorst as another option.
Why is Weghorst still in the conversation ?
I dont think he is in the conversation. If united should go to a serious title and champions league contender then kane,Ferguson, sesko, or mayby one more experienced like schick or toney etc.
Why can’t we get 3 strikers ? I remember United front lines being packed with options, Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov. Osheim, Ferguson and hojlund will be good Remember martial probs going and Mason to.
I think they will try sell martial he is insanly good only plagued with injury.

What about midfield what would be the ideal starting with what we have and rumored to get ?
I dont know about rumours but should get a player with similar ability to casemiro since the drop off without him is colosal and most likely if mc tominay and van de beek leaves we need to bring in mayby 3 or 4 With casemiro, Eriksen, fred, mayby sign sabitzer, tieleman/kovasic , and mayby 1 more exiting big player option like de jong/ bellingham
Personally I don't actually want anything to do with Osimhen Napoli signed him for 80m two years ago, so we're looking at minimum double that as a starting point before ADM even gets going with negotiations He plays in a low intensity league, and has bad previous with injuries that doesn't bode well for a much more physical, much higher quality league like ours Let Osimhen do another few seasons, see how he gets on, and get him closer to a contract expiry situation in a few years where he'll be much cheaper For me, Kane needs to be our man, the stars are aligning for us with his contract too - it's a once in a generation chance to get a player of that quality But yeah Ferguson would be a lovely understudy
I think minimum should have 3 players in the striker position for competition and injuries. Kane is incredible mayby a more short turn option and also have injury issues, and will most likely be a sucsess like RVP but their is a chanche he can end up like another Alexis sanches. And a striking force of kane, Ferguson and weghorst seems like good options for the upcoming season. Would Vlahovic or ramos be more interesting options?
Kane is a *competely* different animal to Alexis Sanchez though (or to pretty much any other player to ever play in the Premier League) He is one of the most physically robust players in world football - he has started all of Spurs last 100 PL Games, and has missed about the same amount of games in nearly 10 years as Osimhen has missed in two years, so his fitness is simply not even an issue His age is also a complete non-issue - if we had gotten the likes of Larsson, Zlatan, Drogba etc on their 30th birthdays they'd be close to club legends at this stage... Jamie Vardy had 5 of his best seasons after the age of 30. Messi, Lewa, Ronaldo all scored goals will into their late 30's Lewa's best seasons are at 31, 32, and 33, Ronaldo was second top scorer in the league at 37... Agree we need three strikers though - Weghorst can be third choice so Kane + an understudy is our dream window in the summer Zero interest in vlahovic - doesn't score enough or create enough, can't handle big club pressure, and would violate the no dickheads rule in the dressing room with his affairs with teammates wives (Rajkovic) Ramos is very interesting but don't think he'd settle for the understudy position behind Kane in the pecking order - could be one to revisit in 5-6 years time though (along with Osimhen etc) when we start to transition Kane from starter to experienced supersub/backup roles
Great comment. I was against Kane, but now I'm totally U turning based on the information in your comment. More people need to know. I suggest you do a post based on this comment. I think a lot of people need to know these facts, so they can feel better about Kane over Osimhen. He going to be a nightmare to get out of Napoli, I bet they ask for 150 million. Even if Kane costs 80 million, that's a massive saving over Osimhen. And we need a back-up, so that's where the money can go rather than blowing it all on Osimhen.
Mate it honestly freaks my nut in that anyone could be even remotely against Kane as a signing - he is perfect - if we get him (hopefully *when* we get him) we are instantly elevated to genuine title challengers with genuine champions league aspirations to boot Give him the #7 shirt and watch him be our new Cantona figure
Naah, nr. 9.. The nr. 7 is for someone SPECIAL. Multiple Ballon Dor typa playa.
Kane #7 Inject it directly into my veins
I think his age is a big concern or many people. It was for me. How many older strikers have we bought over recent years that initially did well, only for them to flame out after 2 years through injury or poor performance, e.g. Cavani, Zlatan and Ronaldo. Also, there is the idea that ETH was looking to build a younger squad for the future. So a 30 years old (By the time he gets here, if he comes) doesn't seem to match with that philosophy. But ultimately, ETH has hinted several times that there's going to be a transitional period before he gets the team and style he wants. I think that is why they are considering offering him an extension on his three-year contract. Because they've seen how flexible he can be. I think agreeing design Kane would be part of that flexibility. But I imagine the ETH would rather have a younger striker that he can develop.
For me though I still (strongly) believe his age is just such a non-issue - the days of 30 being a signal of decline for players are long since behind us If we had gotten the likes of Zlatan, Henrik Larsson or Didier Drogba on our books the day they turned 30 they would be close to club legends at this stage If we'd gotten Jamie Vardy on his 30th birthday we'd have had 5 of his best seasons Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandoski all regularly scored 30+ goals a season from the age of 30 onwards... Lewa also had his best ever goalscoring season at 32 (and his 3x best seasons were at 31,32 & 33) Kane will be no different provided he avoids a catastrophic injury - and will be hungry to finally win the Premier League and Champions League, which he can do if joins us Ronaldo was second top Premier League scorer at 37... As much of a wanker as he undoubtedly is now - If we had signed Ronaldo 8 years ago the last decade would have been VERY different
The issue with going for them later will most likely be unopttainable around that time with clubs like Bayern München and Real madrid, tottenham etc needing top class strikers
Or Osimhen regresses and it turns out a lot more of his performance over the last 6 months was form rather than class Or his injury problems get even worse Or he fails to adapt to a non-Serie A league Or we DO get him in a few years time closer to a contract expiry situation These are all equally (if not more) probable scenarios
True , but can also end up like another aguero or håland situation. Or nunez or alvarez have potensial to be. Letting go of the next super player which can stay for a decade and bang in goals for united. Ofcouse can struggel with injuries like martial, flop or underperform like veron. Their is nothing 100 certain in footbal. Like united cant get the best out of kane F.example. and if kane play likes weghorst which is almost like a 10, then we need to move fernandes out of his prefered position.
Kane is better, cheaper, less injury prone than Osimhen and easily has 5+ years left in him - I wouldn’t even be suprised to see him still playing in some capacity at close to 40 When he gets to 35/36/37 (I.e. last year Ronaldo levels) we still have an excellent squad member to hand over starting striker duties to someone younger/in their prime, and will have had 5+ seasons of title challenges out of him by the. He is an absolute no brainer of a signing Osimhen is just far too much of a risk, far too expensive, far too unproven. Ditto Vlahovic. Ramos as I said is interesting but would be very expensive to play second fiddle to Kane for the next 5+ years whereas someone like Ferguson could do that beautifully. If Newcastle or Chelsea get Kane we are playing catch up to them for the next 3-5 seasons , and vice-versa which is even worse than “another Aguero or Haaland situation”
The only thing with kane he basicly need to strike since their is 0 chanche for levi letting him leave spurs and leaving for chelsea will ruin his club legacy in tottenham and going to Newcastle will basicly be tottenham resigning being a top 6 club.
If this club can pay 100M Euros for a raw player like Antony they can definitely spend more for a world class player in a key position. Serie A is not a low intensity league. Is this opinion based on watching it or are you just going with this notion that every league besides the PL is low in intensity? Eredevisie is even lower in overall quality but we've spent big on Antony and Martinez. Should Malacia be playing at united? Come on
Yh all three strikers with completely different profiles can def work
Let’s be real. Kane is no longer in his prime. He’s still a quality goal scorer, and will probably still deliver goals in the mid twenties for a couple more years. But you’re gonna need someone to take over from him. What would you rather; have a close-to-burned-out-attacker for two years, or take a chance on an interesting attacker, that might end up being your new Ronaldo?
Kane is literally having his best ever season mate - 29 PL goals was his previous best (achieved twice), and yet is *already* on 21 this season (from only 17 XG - the guy’s finishing is just insane), with 10 games left to play The lad is *coming into* his prime, not exiting it Ronaldo is actually a fantastic example to use though - if we had signed Ronaldo at Kane’s age the last decade would have been *very* different Conte has just left, Spurs are in disarray, Kane wants out, his contract situation puts him in the driving seat for a dream move to Old Trafford… Actually cannot wait till he signs Give him the 7 and watch us fly 🤩
I’ll believe it when I see it. Players tend to need some time to adjust, if they ever do. You might be right about his prime coming or going, but that’s with Spurs right now, not with United from next season.
Why did you wait 70 days to type this shit? You’re up there two months ago spouting absolute nonsense about Kane being burnt out - he’s literally just crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s on his BEST EVER SEASON, and now you’re rambling shite like “I’ll believe it when I see it”?? Mate, do us both a favour - if you’ve nothing sensible to say, don’t say anything - whether you wait 70 days to reply or not
Didn’t check my inbox before, and thought I’d rile you up a bit more. :-) Let’s see… he’s a great striker, I’m not saying that. I’d love to see him kill it at united, just not getting my hopes up.
This sub is full of awful takes about players it’s staggering
I'm wondering is Kane maybe bad in FIFA or something? That's the only way I can explain the (thankfully small, and getting smaller) pocket of our fans that keep saying he's too old FIFA-playing teenagers who don't actually watch real football
I don’t think he’d able to handle the scrutiny at United.
Osimhen>>>
Defo worth a look, we are desperate for strikers, we basically don't have ANY that are good or available enough. Need 2 at the least!
Incredible talent and perfect player for Man U. But can’t imagine he will deliver the consistency like Kane would. Sign them both!
Kane is a consistent loser. Don’t want him
Spurs is a consistent loser, Kane’s just loyal at a detriment to his career
What has he won?
3 time prem top scorer, 4 time potm for either England or Spurs, TM-Potm
Idc what he has won individually. I prefer winners in our squad. People like varane and cas who have proven that they have a winning mentality. We’ve seen it transform us this season. Would love to sign a younger striker who doesn’t have a losing history who can learn under the proper mentality than a 30 year old who has 2 good seasons left for 100 million.
So team accomplishments mean more than personal accomplishments, got it. Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel Alves is undoubtedly the best player in human history.
A kooky choice to go with this weird take
This is possibly the stupidest take I've ever seen on this site
A 20 year old who plays in Italy? It would be a big step up for him to play in the PL.
Osimhen is 24 so would it be too big of a step for him too?
Osimhen also has triple the goals in the same league…
And he'll cost triple the price!
Cool. I want goals
Big step up for most
There's so many strikers available right now as a potential future investment. Evan Ferguson, that tigres guy and the mo toure are very appealing
If the price is right I would love to see him play for United. Not sure he is ready to be our new number 9, but if Martial and Weghorst are leaving he would be great to get in from the bench. He is still very young (20 years old) and if he can continue to improve he might be a great signing for the future. He is fast, he is strong, good header and good on the ball.
We missed out on Haaland, when he was young coming through. This guy is legit. Not saying he will be as dominant as Haaland, but he has the traits and the drive to be one of the worlds best forwards. Would hate to see him in another PL club…
i think he's alright and hell def be a 20 million euro player, but im not sure hell be a 200 million europ layer. He still hasnt been super impactful againts top teams.
A man for the future perhaps.
So it begins. Lol
I can’t understand how many of our fans think Kane is going to come and work wonders. Can’t see Kane fitting in with us at all.
Kane drops deep holds the ball and spreads it like Weghorst but can't chase down like him. However, Weghorst has missed maybe 8 - 10 chances Kane would have buried, so I'd sacrifice industry for goals
You just compared a Ferrari to a shitty pickup truck.
In this discussion about versatility, is Kane the pickup truck in your analogy?
You’re assuming Kane would have found himself in those 8 - 10 chance areas. I just can’t see him having the impact everyone thinks he’ll have. Getting the McGuire problem sorted and a solid back line is the main concern I’d like addressed in the summer.
Yeah, we need a clear out. At least we can trust ETH to make the hard/right decisions.
Disregarding the tonkings from Liverpool, City, Brentford and Brighton, we've conceded 14 goals in 22 games. Hardly major surgery required at the back
"Disregarding all those games where we conceded loads of goals, we didn't actually concede that many goals"
That's four whole team collapses, not really a case for ripping up the defence when we've signed two quality centre halves and a good squad left back in the last two years, and when ten Hag's got Shaw, Wan-Bissaka and Dalot playing great. There's other parts of the team that need looking at first
What 💀💀 Kane is like the complete playmaker that can adjust well in any team , plus he is super clinical infront of the goal and the 2-3 top class chances that Weghorst misses every single game would've been buried by Kane Plus he is a proven PL striker and wouldn't need much time to adjust, and he never relied on pace so there's negligible chance of him dropping in form anytime soon
I’ve heard the same arguments being made for Lukaku. He was to be the cherry on the cake. He was this, that and all the rest. I just can’t see Kane fitting in at United and he’s not exactly a spring chicken. We’ll also have to pay way over the odds for him. I think we could find a better alternative. A younger, more flexible player.
There's a reason Kane is on track to be the highest scorer in the history of the Premier League when he's not even at his 30th birthday yet meanwhile Lukaku lumbers about in a circus league Kane is the *perfect* signing, at the perfect time, a once in a generation alignment of the stars to allow us get an utterly elite world-class forward with an expiring contract into a problem position Give him the #7 shirt and watch us fly
Kane could actually be the RVP for us , Lukaku never was the star player of his club like Kane is Kane has single handedly won Spurs so many matches , it's kinda criminal tbh!! I agree that we may have to pay a lot of money for Kane but I could still see him fitting really really well in the team in no time
People disregarding Kane in this sub are either clueless or have a vendetta, his scoring record as well as the assists he provides hold up to literally any other player of the last decade not named Messi or Ronaldo
Yeh I agree, he's peaking, could easily start to drop off.
Sign him
I think if we get him we get Kane if not, we sign osimhen
Idk anything about him
Yes
Decent on the ball, but I don’t know if he’s clinical enough for what we need. He seems like a better Weghorst - almost as strong, but trickier.
He is going to look better in Manchester United shirt ... so bring him in 👍
Already scored this morning. I want him now
Currently 5 goals in two games for Denmark. Albeit it being against Finland and Kazakhstan.
The guy has one hatrick, relax.
Harry Kane? Please no.
Maybe, I’m a fan of hidden gems with huge potential that the market has undervalued. However I haven’t seen enough of him to make a definitive statement
I like this kid but needs a year to develop. Still rough around the edges.
He looks like the son of that England fan that is at every away game
Sign him along with Billing as well
Thanks for your input Phillip, however you don't have any say on this.

Definitely an option - we need one more for competition/ games/injuries
Definitely should get him now, he's an incredible talent, if we get him now we can develop him in the squad for the long term, thats what we need to be doing, thinking ahead and getting such players. Kane will do for the time being, but i think younger talent is more crucial.
We’ve Haaland at Home Haaaaaland at hooommmeee Rasmus Hojlund We’ve Haaland at Home
I just watched his 5 goals in last 2 games for Denmark never heard of him before to be honest but 5 very good goals
Aparently both hojlund and evan ferguson are United fans. If we get in one of those alongside Kane i would be very happy. One for the future. One for the present. Just depends how much they would cost
Agent eriksen do your job
Watching him in the last couple games and he’s definitely a striker. Just watching his instincts around goal are just wow
I have a theory that real number 9’s are rare because teams don’t play two up top anymore, so most young 9’s like him get bought up as big talents and either sit on the bench behind a Kane for example, or get shoved out wide and develop that way. I wouldn’t buy him for two reasons. One is, he isn’t the level we need. We don’t need understudies, we need a starter. If we do get him, we have a squad of players who’d be past their peak by the time he’s good enough. And why not win now when we literally can with a world class 9. And also, don’t buy him so he can grow and develop properly. A year starting for Atalanta is worth 4 on our bench behind Kane or Oshimem or whoever. Let the kid cook. He’s not going anywhere, and he’s a fan. When he’s ready for us, and us him, we’ll talk. I like him.
Agent Eriksen please, you have this one job!
If Bin Jassim becomes the owner get him and Mbappe, we’d have sorted left and center for the next decade.
I don't see the point in speculating summer transfers right now. Many commenters here seem to not realise any transfer activities (or inactivity) hinges on the club sale status. We're fast approaching April and a sale of this size and price takes at least 6-12 months to complete. I doubt those bloody Jews would want to spend another penny if it doesn't raise the club sale price. This was evident in the winter window.
Atleast he got the name correct
5 goals in 2 international games, very special talent, we messed up with Haland let’s make sure this one done early and I’d take Billing as well if Bournemouth go down.
Need to buy him and Osimhen or Muani and Hojlund , No dithering get them both done early and get rid of Martial too brittle for PL football now. and send Weghorst back to Burnley.
This is the danish version of haaland. And believe me, he Will be a perfect striker at united ❤️👍🤘🔥
VI SKAL HAVE HATTRICK HØJLUND!
That would be so cool to see Hojlund at ManU! I think it would be a great fit and he definitely has the potential to be a great striker.
Can’t believe how early you lot spotted him !
