Manchester United make contact to sign Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane
Manchester United have made contact regarding a sensational move for Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as they prepare for a return to the Champions League.
United have secured a third-placed finish in the Premier League under caretaker manager Michael Carrick.
This represents a remarkable turnaround for the Red Devils following a highly disappointing 15th-place finish last term.
The Old Trafford hierarchy, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are now targeting elite additions to bolster their squad.
They have remained closely informed about the former Tottenham forward’s contract situation over the past 12 months.
Kane focused on Bayern extension
The England captain’s current deal at the Allianz Arena is due to expire at the end of next season.
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have also monitored the 32-year-old’s availability over a potential return to England.
However, an imminent Premier League comeback appears highly unlikely for the prolific forward.
He is reportedly settled in Germany and prepared to open talks over a new long-term contract.
The striker hopes to extend his stay with the Champions League semi-finalists until 2028.
Remarkable goalscoring form continues
Kane has enjoyed a staggering individual campaign in Bavaria, showing absolutely no signs of slowing down.
The Three Lions skipper recently netted his 55th goal in just 48 appearances this season during a clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
His incredible output has drawn immense praise from across the footballing world.
He is the best striker in the world.
Former Premier League midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker
While United boast a talisman of their own in captain Bruno Fernandes, adding a centre-forward of such pedigree would be a monumental statement.
The Manchester club can now offer elite European football once again, having benefitted from a lighter fixture schedule this year.
