Former Manchester United assistant coach Rene Meulensteen has again stated Tottenham striker Harry Kane should be signed.

Meulensteen feels the club should try and sign Kane from Tottenham this summer.

“Obviously, there was a big, big gap there last year," Meulensteen talkSPORT. “And I think the gap started sort of in the early part of the season.

“What is vitally important is that United are going to have a really good start to the season so they don't lose any ground, they are in there and they keep competing. Because that will grow the belief.

“I think with maybe another good signing, I keep saying they should bring in a really top, top striker.

“I think, for instance, if you were able to get Kane – I don't think they would be able to get him – but if they would get Kane, I would say yes, they will compete for the title next year."
