Reporter Ryan Taylor has been reacting to rumours linking Manchester United with a move for Tottenham forward Harry Kane.
The Lowdown: Old Trafford speculation
A marquee attacking addition appears to be on the agenda at Old Trafford this summer, with Kane seemingly a top target for United officials.
Reports earlier this year stated that the Red Devils are eyeing a stunning summer swoop for the England captain, who will be entering the final 12 months of his Spurs contract at the end of the season.
Described as 'world class’ by Antonio Conte, Kane is also attracting interest from German giants Bayern Munich but is thought to be open to a move to Manchester.
The Latest: Taylor’s comments
Talking to GiveMeSport, Taylor was talking about Kane and United, believing the England international would fit into Erik ten Hag’s side ‘perfectly’. The reporter also feels that ‘Man United would be a different animal with Kane’ and thinks they could fund a potential transfer.
"I think so; personally, I'd love to see Kane win trophies and I feel like United at the moment; although it wouldn't be a popular move amongst Spurs fans, I feel like, you know, Man United would be a different animal with Kane because he fits their team perfectly, I feel like they probably do have the money and traction to lure him in."

The Verdict: Get it done
Kane could well be the missing piece in Ten Hag’s Old Trafford jigsaw, with United currently having Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst as senior centre-forward options.
Kane has comfortably outperformed the pair this season, as per WhoScored, and every other United player for that matter. He has netted 17 Premier League goals this season, three more than Marcus Rashford, while also averaging more key passes per 90 than Bruno Fernandes.
Therefore, you could argue that Kane would take United to the next level, so it’s easy to see why Taylor is excited at the speculation.
