Man United could sign Harry Kane this summer after ‘incredible’ Pochettino news from source – pundit
Mauricio Pochettino will “100%” move for Harry Kane if he is named the new manager of Man United, according to Kevin Campbell.
The former Arsenal striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed the Red Devils’ potential lack of Champions League football will not deter the 28-year-old hitman.
According to the Daily Mirror (14 March), Man United are considering making a fresh summer move for Tottenham striker Kane this summer.
The potential transfer could mean a potential linkup with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, who has been linked extensively with the Old Trafford hot seat.
The latest from a United source to Football Insider is that Pochettino is a top target for the post ahead of the summer.
The Red Devils bowed out of the Champions League last night (15 March).
They could be 10 points adrift of the Premier League top four if Arsenal can win their three games in hand.
When asked if Man United could lure Kane despite the potential lack of Champions League football, he told Football Insider‘s Ewan Kingsbury: “Man United are arguably still the biggest club in the world.
“They’re not where they want to be, but I think there’s going to be a lot happening this summer.
“The new manager will be an interesting one. If it is going to be Pochettino – he will want Harry Kane, 100%. Kane would be keen to join if that happened too, I’m sure.
“There are only a few teams probably able to afford him, and Man United are one of them.
“He’s given Spurs another year, as asked, going against what he wanted – and it hasn’t quite worked out.
“If they keep Ronaldo – could you imagine? Kane and him together, that could be incredible.”
