Harry Kane may have won multiple individual trophies for Tottenham but he is yet to win anything with the north London team.
Former Aston Villa center forward, Gabby Agbonlahor, believes Kane must leave Tottenham and complete a “big” move to Manchester United.
The retired striker told Football Insider:
“For Kane, it’s now or never. He either leaves this summer or stays at Spurs – he’s not getting a big move again. I don’t think he’s going to win what he wants to win at Spurs.”
“At Manchester United he can still beat Alan Shearer’s scoring record in the Premier League. Manchester United will win a trophy before Spurs for sure.”
The Red Devils have not won any title since they won the Community Shield, League Cup and the Europa League under the management of Jose Mourinho back in 2016-17 campaign.
Man United have one foot in the Carabao Cup final and are in a solid position to finish the season in the top four this season.
On the other hand, Tottenham have not won a single title in almost 15 years. Their last victory was in the League Cup against Chelsea in 2008 under Spanish coach, Juande Ramos.
Kane has netted 16 goals in the Premier League and is linked with a move to Man United where Erik ten Hag is eager to secure his signature. He would cost around £85million in the summer (The Mail).
The two-time England Player of the Year has won three Golden Boots in the Premier League. Should he move to Old Trafford to win a major club title?
Three reasons Manchester United must sign Youri Tielemans before transfer deadline
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told the club website before the FA Cup game that he was still open to bringing in new signings.
He explained: “If I had the opportunity in the comings days, then I would go for it but this is not only up to me. I think at this club, everyday, that has to be the approach. You have to get better and if they are opportunities to get better you have to strike.
“That is my approach and I am looking, I am looking around with research and I have an idea with the profiles and what profiles we need to strengthen this squad.”
One potential late addition might be Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans. Here is a look at three reasons the club should look to get a deal done…

Injuries leave midfield short
Christian Eriksen was scythed down by Reading’s Andy Carroll at Old Trafford and left the stadium on crutches. Scott McTominay missed the game due to injury too, while Donny van de Beek is out for the season.
United need reinforcements and midfield must now be the priority, heading into the final days of the window.
This makes a move for Tielemans not just desirable, but necessary. United are competing in four different competitions and landing the Belgian international would give Erik ten Hag’s side a better chance to succeed.
Tielemans would cost bargain fee
United have only had funds available for loan moves due to the expected takeover. An injury to Eriksen may give Ten Hag sway to push the club to find extra cash, with a transfer deemed essential.
Tielemans might be possible, due to his expiring contract. The midfielder’s deal runs out in June, and Leicester expect to lose him on a free transfer as it stands.
United might be able to put together an offer of £15 million, even structured so the majority is paid in summer rather than now, to get a deal over the line.
Premier League and cup experience
Tielemans would be capable of making an immediate impact for United. The 25-year-old has made 140 Premier League appearances and would take no time to settle in. He has scored against United in the past and would have the immediate respect of his teammates.
He would be cup-tied for Carabao Cup and FA Cup games, however, but his presence in the squad would still allow Ten Hag extra rotation options in the league.
Tielemans would be eligible for United to add to the Europa League squad. This was a competition he has made 12 appearances in for Leicester, and previously featured in against United for Anderlecht.
For a knockdown price United would be signing a player of proven quality for a bargain fee, who at 25, should still have his best years ahead of him, for Erik ten Hag to help him develop.
