Manchester United to act quickly with Harry Kane bid and step up interest in Mason Mount

The Tottenham forward is top of Erik ten Hag’s striker wishlist

KEEPING SCHTUM: Harry Kane has been silent on his future and there has been little indication he is prepared to sign an extension. 

Manchester United will attempt to smooth negotiations with Tottenham by bidding as quickly as possible for Harry Kane this summer, while they are also preparing to step up their interest in Chelsea’s Mason Mount.

Erik ten Hag is keen to sign a new striker and Kane tops a shortlist that also includes Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta. United have been quoted €150m (£130m) for Osimhen, which would put the Nigerian out of their reach. Hojlund, the 20-year-old Denmark striker, would be seen as one for the future if he moves to Old Trafford this summer.
