The Red Devils have long been linked with the England international but were never able to put a deal in place with Tottenham. The prolific 30-year-old frontman is currently in Germany and has smashed over the 30-goal barrier during

his debut campaign at the Allianz Arena. Kane is in danger of completing another season empty-handed, and it has led to conjecture indicating that a hurried retreat to the Premier League could be resisted.

United are being credited with interest once again, but questions have been raised about why a player determined to collect significant silverware would want to head for Old Trafford.

Ex-England and Tottenham striker Lineker has seen the humorous side of claims that the Red Devils could throw money at an audacious move for Kane, with the Match of the Day host unable to contain his astonishment on social media as he

responded to the rumours with a succession of weeping laughter emojis. While conjecture swirls about Kane, the man himself has shown no sign that he is pondering another transfer.

His family is already ensconced in Bavaria, and he is locked to a contract through 2027, allowing him many more possibilities to increase a medal collection that is proving tough to start.
