Last month, it was reported that Harry Kane is willing to leave Tottenham this summer.
The two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner is dissatisfied with Spurs' recent direction. He is apparently willing to bolt for greener pastures in search of silverware.
DON'T MISS:
Manchester United, predictably, has been linked with a deal for Kane, but it's thought Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will want about £150 million for the center-forward, which might derail any future talks between the two clubs.
The MEN understands that United's priority in the transfer window is to sign a center-back and a center-forward, but new news saying Edinson Cavani is willing to prolong his stay at Old Trafford might change the club's plan.
If Cavani commits to staying at United for another season, the Reds will likely use their money elsewhere, and Phil Neville has encouraged Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not to sign Kane, instead of praising Cavani's commitment this season.
“When it comes to genius strikers, I believe Cavani was world-class this week. "He is what you expect in a center-forward for a player who has come in on a free transfer," Neville said.
DON'T MISS:
“I know a lot of people are asking about Harry Kane, and I think Harry Kane is world-class, but I think Cavani has someone who can certainly deliver the products for another 12 months without the club having to spend the kinds of money that you have to pay for someone like Harry Kane.
“Obviously, in the long run, you'd wonder if the best stars in the world right now, including Lewandowski, Kane, and Mbappe, but it'll be tough to pry those players away from their clubs. "As a result, I believe Cavani is a better match."
Neville also said that bringing in Kane would put "top talent" Mason Greenwood in an uncomfortable role.
"I think bringing in someone like Harry Kane blocks the way for someone like Mason Greenwood, who I think is one of the best finishers in the league," Neville said.
“United would pave the way for Mason Greenwood to become the number nine. He'll be the number nine without a doubt because he's the best finisher at that club.
“When he grows stronger, and he is getting stronger when his movement improves and he gains more confidence in his games, he will be England's and Manchester United's number nine – he is a top, top, top talent.”
