Manchester United transfer news – Erik ten Hag names 3 Harry Kane alternatives

According to FourFourTwo, Erik ten Hag has named the 3 strikers he would like to sign if Harry Kane becomes impossible. Those three strikers are Randal Kolo Muani of Frankfurt, Tammy Abraham of Roma and Lisandro Martinez of Inter Milan.

This shortlist has been crafted since it looks less and less likely that Harry Kane will be allowed to leave Spurs in the summer, as they plan a big rebuild under a new manager. Even if he does leave, he’d probably prefer to join Mauricio Pochettino’s new club, which is most likely to be Chelsea at this point in time.
