Manchester United are preparing to make their move for Harry Kane in the hope of agreeing an £80million deal, according to reports. United's interest in Kane has been well-documented, with MEN Sport reporting earlier this month that the
Tottenham striker has been earmarked as the priority target by Erik ten Hag . The Dutchman is keen on adding a world-class striker over the summer as he builds a team fit for a
Premier League title challenge. The 29-year-old is set to be in high demand come June, with Bayern Munich also eyeing a move while
Barcelona and
Chelsea have also been linked. However, the Daily Star reports that United CEO Richard Arnold has sanctioned a potential deal and will look to enter negotiations prior to the season's end.

London club's stance as they aim to land a deal for around £80million. However, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy remains hopeful he can persuade his talisman to stay, with the appointment of a new manager thought to be key to his decision. Elsewhere, the Athletic reports that United have taken 'no major steps forward' in tying Marcus Rashford down to a new deal. Rashfod has been in the best form of his career this season, his 27 goals across all competitions already a personal best with two months to spare. The 25-year-old has been Ten Hag's talisman all campaign and could enter the summer with three major honours under his belt. But this off-season window will also see the forward enter the final 12 months of a four-year deal signed in 2019, with little noise as to developments over any new contract fuelling speculation he could leave Old Trafford. But while both player and club remain confident that fresh terms can be agreed upon, the report suggests little progress has been made during the season. It adds that Rashford, currently thought to be on around £200,000 per week, has seen his wages surpassed by recent signings but United cannot go over the odds for their striker, with the glut of recent signings meaning they need to be careful in complying with Financial Fair Play regulations.
