Erik ten Hag can transform Man United with £100m summer signing after new development – Agbonlahor
Gabby Agbonlahor has insisted Harry Kane is the “last piece of the jigsaw” needed in order for Man United to join Arsenal and Man City in the title fight.
The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, praised the strength in depth at Old Trafford across the pitch.
Sources told this site on Saturday (11 March) that Man United have made signing a new striker their top priority this summer after Erik ten Hag held talks with the club’s board.
Kane, 29, is among the Red Devils’ top targets – alongside red-hot Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.
Football Insider revealed on 4 March that Spurs have slapped a £100million+ price tag on the England captain in an attempt to ward off interest this summer.
Kane is out of contract in less than 18 months.
United have been cut adrift of the fight for the Premier League title after losing 7-0 away at Liverpool last week (5 March).
When asked if he thought they could join the fight in 2023-24 with a new striker signing, Agbonlahor told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury: “I really do.
“If you look at this Man United squad, they’re so strong everywhere – except in that number nine role.
“They’re strong defensively, and so exciting in those wide spaces.
“Weghorst isn’t good enough for Man United but that’s not his fault. He was a short-term option.
“But I really feel that Harry Kane can be the last piece of the jigsaw, he’s an incredible player. Bring him in, and they’re good to go with a title challenge next season.”
