Manchester United are reportedly plotting a sensational £50m summer bid for England striker Harry Kane.

“If Spurs keep progressing, he could the player they build the team around”. In quotes to the media as reported in the Evening Standard, Tottenham Hotspur’s leading scorer displayed an optimism that comes with going 14 league matches without a loss. “What’s the point if you can’t keep Harry Kane?”
“If they sell Harry Kane in the next couple of years, could you imagine the uproar?”
“Dimitar Berbatov was there for a couple of seasons and was gone and Michael Carrick was a Geordie”. But if the club could win either the League Cup or FA Cup, it could be enough to give Kane the belief that he can lead them to bigger and better things.
Harry, being the media-savvy footballer that he is, stops short of saying that Spurs will actually win the title, but he’s clearly thinking what we’re all thinking: why not Zoidberg Tottenham?
Kane has rediscovered his goalscoring form of last season after a baron spell at the start of the campaign, notching nine goals in his last 10 appearances in all competitions.
Given his youth, Kane is only likely to improve, and he could be the ideal successor for the 30-year-old Rooney at Old Trafford.
But even that huge fee for the England centre forward, 22, might not be enough to persuade Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to do business.
Spurs have not lost in the League since the opening day at Manchester United and the main contenders’ flaws leaves Kane optimistic about his team’s chances.
And Sheringham, who made the move to United when he was 31, hopes Kane doesn’t make the same mistake as him in leaving it too late to join English football’s most successful club.

According to Dave Armitage in the Daily Star, the Foxes are looking to tie the Englishman to the club until 2019 by offering him a new contract worth £90,000 a week.
