Man Utd make decision on Kane fee as Ten Hag pushes deal

Manchester United chiefs have agreed to break the British transfer record to bring Tottenham striker Harry Kane to Old Trafford.

The Mirror says he could even cost more than the £105million that Chelsea paid to land Enzo Fernandez on January transfer deadline day, as United are willing to pay the hefty fee to fully concentrate on manager Erik ten Hag's number one target.

The Dutchman is unhappy with his current forward options according to the report, as Marcus Rashford has often been asked to switch from his left-wing role as the only recognised centre-forwards at the club are Anthony Martial and Burnley loanee Wout Weghorst. Ten Hag believes that Kane can have a similar short-term impact as Casemiro, who has swiftly transformed the team since his summer move from Real Madrid.

Kane's contract in north London expires in 2024 and though talks are scheduled a the end of the season over a possible extension, fears will be growing at the club over whether the England captain wants to see out the remainder of his career at Spurs.
