Manchester United are believed to be plotting a long-term solution to their centre-forward problem this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur talisman Harry Kane seemingly among the list of potential targets for the Red Devils.
According to ESPN’s Mark Ogden, while United do appear to be closing in on the temporary, short-term signing of Netherlands international, Wout Weghorst, the belief is that such a deal is merely to ‘bridge a gap’ until the end of the season, before a more permanent striking addition is secured.
The report suggests that should the England captain – who has just 18 months remaining on his existing deal in north London – fail to sign a contract extension with the Lilywhites, the 29-year-old could emerge as an option for Erik ten Hag this summer.
The piece goes on to add that the Old Trafford outfit are ‘aware’ that they could prove to be the most ‘attractive option’ for the prolific asset if he is to depart the Lilywhites, with Premier League rivals Manchester City and Liverpool having only recently strengthened in attack with the signings of Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez, respectively.
