 According to a source, Manchester United has moved into first place in the race to sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane, as long as a vital agreement is reached.

Regardless of the Three Lions' performance at Euro 2020, the England skipper has put himself up for a successful summer. He reportedly told Tottenham before the tournament that he wanted to leave, but stay in the Premier League. Manchester City has been linked with a move in the aftermath, although not for manager Pep Guardiola.

Chelsea has shown less interest in Kane, but United has also been mentioned in recent months.

According to reports, football director John Murtough cleared room for a single "mega-signing." Jadon Sanch, on the other hand,

Despite the fact that Jadon Sancho has arrived for £73 million, Football Insider believes that United still want Kane.

However, that amount has now dropped to £100 million — still a nine-figure sum. But there's a catch: Tottenham wants two United players in exchange.

Sancho's arrival will upend United's attacking hierarchy. According to a previous report from ESPN, Anthony Martial could be on the verge of quitting the club.

According to the latest report from Football Insider, Spurs will demand two players in the deal.

 While Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek may be allowed to depart, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is almost guaranteed to keep Mason Greenwood.

The winger has spent time on loan at Werder Bremen and Club Brugge in the past year.

Now, though, he will stay in England as he continues his development.
