Transfer News: Manchester United drop out of race for Harry Kane
According to transfer news from Express, Manchester United have dropped out of the race to sign Harry Kane. United have two reasons for doing so. That leaves Manchester City with a clear run at the Tottenham talisman who could be set on an exit.
The 27-year-old Kane has been a consistent performer for Spurs as well as England over the years, racking up goals and assists at a rapid rate. However, his individual brilliance has failed to land him a single major trophy so far at North London.
Kane has apparently spoken about his desire to join a club that can contend for major trophies. That led to both Manchester clubs registering an interest in the star striker. Last season, he managed to pick up both awards for the highest goal scorer and assist provider, highlighting his tremendous abilities.
Nonetheless, Manchester United are unlikely to go ahead for Kane for two-fold reasons (h/t Express). Firstly, they have already spent a significant amount on Jadon Sancho. Secondly, they have other priority signings such as Raphael Varane and Eduardo Camavinga. Another small factor is that United are not that keen on entering into a tussle with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy after previous experiences.

It is understandable that United want to drop out of the race for Kane. It has all the makings of a drawn-out transfer saga. With Cavani there for another year and Martial returning from injury, United don’t really need another striker.
