Manchester United 'give Harry Kane last-ditch ultimatum' and more transfer rumours

Manchester United have told Harry Kane to submit a transfer request amid growing frustration over Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's refusal to negotiate, according to reports.

Kane has long been earmarked as United's top summer target, with Erik ten Hag desperate to add more goals to his squad. The Dutchman was over-reliant on Marcus Rashford this season and hopes to ease the burden on his forward.

However United's efforts to discuss a deal with Levy have fallen on deaf ears, with the Spurs chief unwilling to sell to a Premier League rival at any cost. Frustration is said to be growing around Old Trafford, and the Sun now reports that they have told Kane to agitate for a move.

The report adds that United will walk away from the transfer if there is no positive development in the Kane race, with several other targets already scouted and of interest.

Elsewhere, Footmercato reports that Juventus have offered Adrien Rabiot a new contract in a desperate attempt to keep him in Turin - although the midfielder would prefer a move to the Premier League.

United were keen to sign Rabiot last summer but a move failed to materialise due to his wage demands.

The 28-year-old looks set to call time on a four-year stay at Juventus and has made no secret of his desire to seek a new challenge, most likely in England. However the Italian side have made one final push to keep their man, and will await a decision.
