What Kane Said About United Fans’ Chant

Kane was asked about this after the game and told the Daily Mirror’s John Cross, as cited by Fabrizio Romano: “I heard what they were saying but I’m just focused on this team — and trying to finish strongly.” It’s quite clear that the Spurs captain, who became their all-time top goalscorer earlier this season, is still staying quiet on his future at Spurs and does not want to intensify the links to Old Trafford.
United are reported to have to pay a huge fee of £100 million in a single up-front payment to sign Kane from Spurs, who are not at all interested in selling their prized forward to a direct rival, empowering their chances of winning the Premier League title.
How Can Kane Fit In at United?
Even though they reportedly know it’ll be a major task for actually getting the deal over the line, United can hugely benefit from the arrival of a world-class striker like Kane next season. They’ve lacked a proper no.9 this season, with Anthony Martial injured for most of it and January loan signing Wout Weghorst just not up to the mark.

Kane is a proven goal-scorer in the Premier League and has over 270 goals for Spurs in his career. He’s even scored 55 goals for England, becoming his national team’s highest-ever goal-scorer as well. The 29-year-old is packed with experience and is a menacing play in the attack, having the ability to drop deep to influence moves and create chances – while being an elite finisher and penalty taker. Kane – who was praised as a ‘clever player’ by United manager Erik ten Hag recently – could be the perfect final piece of the puzzle for United and significantly improve their chances of strongly competing for major trophies if they’re able to sign him next season.
