Ten Hag ‘obsessed’ with signing Premier League star for Man Utd, but five others are also considered
But the Red Devils have also considered other top strikers such as Victor Osimhen, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Ramus Hojlund and Mohammed Kudus, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Kane has a proven track record in the Premier League and Ten Hag is sure to like that, while the England international is so adept at slipping into a number ten role and alongside his prolific goalscoring abilities.
Still, Osimhen has been one of Europe’s most impressive strikers this season and could certainly improve from this Man Utd side, while others like Ramos and Kolo Muani have also shown great potential.
Erik ten Hag says Manchester United have a plan to keep ‘smart’ Harry Kane quiet against Tottenham Hotspur in Thursday’s battle of the top four.
Kane is Ten Hag’s main target this summer, but he must first find a way to prevent the 29-year-old England forward from dealing a blow to United’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Tottenham may be in a slump but the club’s top scorer hasn’t let that hamper his form with 26 goals to his name so far this season, leaving Ten Hag with a dilemma of how to avoid Thursday adding to that number .
“It’s quite clear that he has an impact on Spurs’ play,” said Ten Hag, whose fourth-placed side are six points clear of Tottenham having played two games fewer.
“Of course we have a plan for that. We did very well at the home game, so [Thursday] we also need a very good plan.
“You have to defend him as a team. He’s a smart player, so don’t let him get into situations. He can have a big impact on the game.”
