Former Tottenham defender Danny Rose backs Harry Kane transfer to Manchester United

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose believes that a transfer to Manchester United is the only obvious option for Harry Kane at the end of the season should he opt to remain in the Premier League.

MEN Sport understands that United will be targeting a striker as their main priority in the summer transfer window. Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Spurs' Kane are believed to be the two main options which Erik ten Hag will consider at the end of the season.

The chances of Kane leaving Tottenham in the summer appear to be high following the North London club's elimination from the Champions League on Wednesday night. Their 1-0 aggregate defeat to AC Milan ensured that Spurs will not be winning any silverware again this season.

If Spurs cannot persuade their captain to sign a new deal, Kane will be leaving Tottenham in 2024 on a free transfer. While Rose has not spoken recently to the 29-year-old about his future, he told Sky Sports that United is his ex-teammate's only real option.

He explained: "Honestly I really don't know [if Kane will leave Spurs], it is just a case that I would not like to see him move abroad. I think it [a move to United] is the obvious one because he can't go to Chelsea and obviously [Manchester] City are set with what they have got.

"I can't see Liverpool being one for him so United is the only obvious one off the top of my head and I guess that would be something for Harry to decide at the end of the season. I think where they [Spurs] finish, who is going to be manager, how they finish this season, will all be contributing factors to his decision making."
