Sky Sports have reported that ‘it is increasingly unlikely’ Manchester United will submit a bid for Harry Kane this summer, as Tottenham have made their stance clear.
It appears that although the Red Devils are keen on signing the England captain, Spurs are adamant that they do not want to sell the striker, especially not to any other club in the Premier League.

This comes after David Ornstein reported on Rio Ferdinand Presents Five that Harry Kane is keeping his options open this summer, and that includes everything from an exit to signing a new Spurs deal.
Real Madrid have also reportedly shown interest in Kane ahead of the summer, but Levy has also informed Los Blancos that he will not be selling the forward this year (GiveMeSport).
Dharmesh Sheth gives balanced view on Harry Kane
Sky Sports News reporter Dharmesh Sheth also posed the idea that Kane may be keen on keeping his family in London and staying at Spurs his entire career.
He said (SkySports): “I think you’ve got to look at this from both sides. From Tottenham’s perspective, they realise they have a player who is priceless to them, but also only has a year left on his contract. There are various scenarios that can transpire with regard to Kane, as far as Tottenham are concerned.
“The ideal scenario is that Kane signs a new long-term contract with the club and spends the rest of his career there. Another scenario is that he sees out his contract and he goes for free, with Tottenham potentially losing out on £100m.
“You could also argue they have got a new manager in Ange Postecoglou; in that season, while Kane is still under contract, they can still use that season to try and convince him of what Postecoglou is doing and show him the potential he can have at the club.
“The other scenario is that they sell him in the summer and get that £100m, but preferably not by selling him to a Premier League rival.
“From Kane’s perspective, you’ve got to ask him how important the Premier League all-time goalscoring record is to him. He’s 47 goals behind Alan Shearer’s 260 and if he was to move abroad, would that eliminate his chances of taking the record? Maybe not.
“You could spend three years at Real Madrid, come back and still have a chance of breaking it. All the noises we hear from him are that it is quite important to him.
“Then you’ve got a situation where he’s been at Tottenham for his whole career, he’s got a young family who are settled in London. Who’s to say that he doesn’t want to stay at Tottenham?”
Spurs Web Opinion:
For the first time ever, the power is shifting towards Harry Kane. Ultimately, whether it’s now or 12 months from now, he will end up exactly where he wants. Of course, that could well be staying at Tottenham. Only time will tell.
