Tottenham news: Harry Kane backed to make Manchester United transfer as Spurs dealt injury blow

Here is your Tottenham morning digest on Saturday, March 19.

Former Premier League defender Joleon Lescott has tipped Tottenham striker Harry Kane to make the move away from Spurs to a side like Manchester United in the summer. It comes after the England captain was linked with a transfer to Manchester City last summer, but stayed with the Lilywhites.

Speaking to LiveScore, Lescott said: “Manchester United are one club I could see trying to lure him [Harry Kane] away in summer — and I think he’d consider that very strongly.

“For all their faults, United are closer to winning trophies than Spurs right now. Not the Premier League, but knockout competitions. You could see them winning an FA Cup or Carabao Cup.

“Somewhere like a Real Madrid or Bayern Munich would also be a good fit. But with Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski as good as ever this season, I’m not sure those are viable options.

“It would make sense for United to try for him. And if circumstances are right, it’s one I could see happening.”
