Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has likened Tottenham striker Harry Kane to former teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Kane, 21, has hit 23 goals in 36 games so far this season.

Scholes said: "I have said before his finishing reminds me of Ruud.

"The thing about Ruud was that he never wanted to give the keeper a sniff. Kane is the same.

"Kane does not have one standout quality but he scores highly across a number of different categories.

"The more I watch him, the more I appreciate his temperament. You are under scrutiny playing up front and Kane seems to deal with it easily."
