Harry Kane has been urged to join Manchester United instead of Manchester City this summer if he chooses to leave Tottenham Hotspur.
The forward has been linked with a departure from north London since the closing weeks of the season, having expressed his desire to win trophies.
Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have already been talked up as potential destinations for the England captain ahead of next season.
Pep Guardiola and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have both been coy on the links with Kane, but it has been reported that Man City could sanction up to £70m worth of departures in order to fund the transfer.
Meanwhile, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly slapped a £150m price tag on his star striker.
Despite that, former England international Barnes has suggested that City would not be the best fit due to the number of world-class superstars that they already have at their disposal at the Etihad Stadium and instead encouraged him to make the switch to Old Trafford.
Speaking to BettingOdds.com, he said: “Harry Kane has been able to do what he’s done because he’s been playing for Tottenham, because at Spurs, Harry is the number one player, he’s the talisman who creates and scores goals for them.
“He won’t be that at Manchester City because they have Kevin De Bruyne.
“I don’t think he will be able to replicate the way he plays at Tottenham if he moved to Manchester City because City likes to share the goals around the team, but at Tottenham you’re looking at Harry Kane and Son Heung-min to provide you with the goals.
“He will win trophies wherever he goes but I don’t think he will be as impactful at Manchester City as he will be surrounded by superstar players.
“Take Jack Grealish for example, if he left Aston Villa then he wouldn’t be able to have that same impact at one of the huge clubs and the same goes for Wilfried Zaha at Crystal Palace.
“I believe that Manchester United would be the most suitable destination for Harry Kane.”
