Harry Kane wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer in search of silverware and glory, and Manchester United's England players are hoping to persuade him to join them at Old Trafford.
Chelsea and Manchester City are also interested in the 27-year-old, with the latter reportedly being his preferred destination.
According to The Sun, Red Devils trio Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire, and Luke Shaw would try to entice him to join them at the Theatre of Dreams during the European Championships.
Kane's desire to leave Tottenham has been the talk of the Old Trafford dressing room, with Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani also expressing his desire to leave.
According to The Sun, the South American star has not been shy about telling everyone how much he admires his Spurs counterpart, despite his limited communication in English.
While Kane's arrival would keep Rashford on his toes and put the Manchester United academy graduate up against stiff competition for playing time, the players are said to be excited about the prospect of playing alongside him.
The Red Devils' stars believe he would fit in well with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's system, as the team, like Tottenham, prefers to play on the counter-attack.
Sportslens Perspective
Cavani, like Kane, is a veteran striker with lethal finishing ability and instincts, and having the duo in the Man United attack would be huge.
This season, the 34-year-old has scored 10 Premier League goals in 13 starts and 13 substitute appearances for the Red Devils, earning him a one-year contract extension.
Cavani has six goals in other competitions and, despite his age, has been a huge boost to Man Utd's attacking department.
Kane has scored the most goals (22) and made the most assists (13) in the current Premier League season so far, and it is easy to see why the Uruguayan legend and his teammates want him at Old Trafford.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, on the other hand, is unlikely to sanction a move for his £150 million-rated striker unless suitors pay up.
Kane may find it difficult to force his way out of N17 with three years remaining on his current contract, and Manchester United players and fans will be keeping a close eye on this potential blockbuster transfer saga.
