Jose Mourinho has told Manchester United’s board to sign Harry Kane ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports.
The Sunday Mirror claims that the United manager has made his
preference clear to Ed Woodward and has ordered the club to make a bid
to Tottenham which they would struggle to reject.
It’s claimed that Mourinho is a keen admirer of the England
international and believes United should launch a world-record move for
the striker.
Mourinho’s request to land Kane is in addition to his desire to bring
Alvaro Morata to Old Trafford, and the United manager believes those
two in attack would be a better option than to re-sign Ronaldo.
For the second successive season, Kane finished up with the Premier
League’s Golden Boot but a move for the 23-year-old would be problematic
for United.
The striker only signed a new contract in December which keeps him at
Spurs until 2022, and the club could therefore command a fee in excess
of £100 million.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, is set for talks with Real Madrid after Portugal’s Confederations Cup campaign.
It’s claimed that United were exploring the possibility of signing the 32-year-old but have not yet submitted a bid.
Ronaldo, however, has received offers from Paris Saint-Germain and the Chinese Super League, although he has no intention of joining a club outside of Europe.
