Manchester United are reportedly prioritizing the signing of Jadon Sancho over Harry Kane this summer.
United are interested in signing Sancho again, after failing to sign the England international 12 months ago. The Red Devils intend to pair Sancho with his Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland once the latter's release clause expires in 2022.

Manchester City, the Premier League champions, and Chelsea, the newly crowned Champions League champions, are also interested in Kane.
However, Kane's options may have been limited due to United's stance on a transfer.
According to the Mail, United are instead interested in Sancho and will be unable to afford both players this summer.
Sancho would cost United close to their club-record fee of £89 million, and they will be unable to spend another £120 million on Kane.
