Manchester United great Wayne Rooney says his old club should move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

Rooney, now player-coach with Derby County, is a big fan of his former England teammate.

He told the Sunday Times: "In the last two seasons we've seen him drop deeper more and play balls in behind and he's very good at it, as we saw when England beat Spain in Seville.

"But if I were managing Harry, I'd be telling him to stay high as that No 9. His biggest strength is finishing and he strikes the ball so well that from 20 yards or closer he should be looking to hit it whenever possible.

"Harry is a classic No 9, the closest I've seen to Ruud (Van Nistelrooy). If I were building a team, he's the one I'd start with. Harry Kane: there's my No 9. Then I'd build the rest around him."
