Tottenham striker Harry Kane told main reason he should snub Manchester United transfer

Harry Kane has been advised to snub a potential transfer to Manchester United as it would be impossible for the England captain to reject Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Kane has been identified as a potential summer signing for Erik ten Hag in his search for a new striker and the prolific Tottenham player only has 18 months to run on his contract. He became the London club's all-time top goal-scorer when he netted the winner against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

It was his 267th goal for Tottenham as the 29-year-old surpassed Jimmy Greaves with what was also his 200th strike in the Premier League alone. Speculation over his future continues to spiral, meanwhile, with United and German champions Bayern thought to be keen on his sought-after signature.

Kane might yet opt to sign a new contract with Tottenham. Writing about him in his Daily Mail column, former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy said: "If Bayern Munich come calling this summer, he should go.

"It would be hugely sad if a player of his quality finished [his career] without winning a trophy. It's something he himself would regret after retirement."

Murphy added: "That is what you work so hard for and, unfortunately, Spurs are no nearer giving Kane what he deserves as a world-class striker. He turns 30 this summer, it's getting to that now-or-never stage - but it shows how good his form is that one of the biggest clubs in Europe are still interested.

"Going abroad might cost him Alan Shearer's Premier League goals record but, in the grand scheme of things, that shouldn't put him off. In five years, we could be talking about Harry Kane, Champions League winner with multiple Bundesliga titles and cup medals.

"I'm sure Kane will get other offers. Manchester United have been mentioned, but he hasn't got time to be part of a team that is building. If he was going to leave, it would be primarily to win trophies from the get-go, which would make Bayern his best option."
