That’s according to Dwight Yorke, who believes signing the England skipper would be a ‘priceless’ move for his former club.
Erik ten Hag is desperate to sign a recognised centre forward and United held tentative talks with Spurs at the start of the summer in order to ascertain their position on selling Kane.
Daniel Levy made it clear that he’s unwilling to listen to offers for the 29-year-old, who turns 30 later this month and is out of contract in 2024.
Bayern Munich have tested Spurs’ resolve with two offers for Kane, the second of which is worth an initial £70m.
That would be an astronomical price for a player in Kane’s position, given he is available on a free in less than 12 months’ time.
But Yorke believes United cannot afford to let Kane go elsewhere, and says they should act like a ‘big club’ by signing the striker.
‘If Harry Kane goes to Bayern Munich, it does concern me with the striker situation at Man United, Yorke told Premier League Odds.
‘The striker position is probably the main reason that stopped us from getting close to Man City in the end. You can’t play the game without a real number nine, even with Pep Guardiola’s false nine before, the striker position is very traditional in the Premier League.
‘With the Kane scenario, we should have spent £150m on Erling Haaland when we had the chance under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but we spent money on other players in different positions.
‘I’m not saying to go and spend £150m on Kane but Man United should act like the big club they are and go make the deal happen. Bayern Munich is a huge club, so Man United will have to do what’s necessary to bring Kane in, we know what he brings to the table, it’s priceless.’
