Mourinho green lights £170M Man Utd bid for Spurs star Kane

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho wants to sign Tottenham ace Harry Kane in 2018.

The Sun says Mourinho is eyeing a record £170m swoop for Kane.

The Red Devils sounded out Spurs two years ago over a possible £40m deal which included Javier Hernandez.

Daniel Levy rejected their offer immediately, telling United he believed he could get more for Kane than £77m Gareth Bale.

Mourinho has been a long-term admirer of the in-form England striker, and is keen to bring him to Old Trafford.

He believes a potential partnership with Romelu Lukaku could turn United into a dominant European force again.

Spurs are adamant they will reject ANY approaches for their star players, especially Kane.

An Old Trafford source said: “The club had asked about Kane's availability a few years back.

“They were told by Spurs there was no chance. Jose is a big fan and is very interested."
