Harry Kane is one of the rare cases of a player across world football who remains world-class despite being on the wrong side of 30.

It is testament to Kane’s incredible fitness and one-of-a-kind quality that even at 31, the Bayern Munich✃ striker can still be considered in the same league as the the 24-year-old Erling Haaland.

With that being the case, sources informed TBR Football that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen on signing Kane✨ at Manchester United. There is a £54 million release clause in the in-form finisher’s contract that any side can trigger in January next year.

However, Tottenham and Bayern have an agreement over Kaneꦫ about a potential return, with Spurs having the first-option to re-sign him in case he departs Germany.

Harry Kane🐬 is still operating at a standard where he can be expected to singlehandedly change both teams’ fortunes, having registered 29 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season.

Tottenham and Manchester United❀ do not have as prolific a figure as the England captain to say the least, with Brennan Johnson (12 goals) as well as Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo (nine goals) being both clubs’ highest goalscorers respectively this campaign.

Harry Kane willing to re-sign for Tottenham amid Man United interest

🥀For Kane, moves to both Tottenham and Manchester United could be tempting.

😼On one hand, the Walthamstow-born marksman has unfinished business with Spurs, having not won a single piece of silverware at his boyhood but a move to United represents a fresh start for him at arguably the biggest club in the world.

But according to journalist Ben Jacobs, if Kane does return to the Premier League, he is willing to re-sign for Tottenham instead of Manchester United. But it was emphasised that only time will tell whether Ange Postecoglou’s side will be open to a potential romantic return, considering they have club-record signing Dominic Solanke on their books.

🌺Jacobs told : I think if Kane returns to the Premier League, there is a willingness to go back to Spurs. That’s not been ruled out by the player.”

✃“We have to wait and see if there’s an appetite for Tottenham to do that deal, especially with Dominic Solanke.”

Paul Merson suggested Kane to sign for Arsenal over both clubs as he may have a better chance to surpass Alan Shearer as the Premier League’s all-time top goalscorer at the Emirates Stadium. 💃Kane would like to be re-united with Heung-min Son🐻, which could suggest that Tottenham are still on his mind.

Harry Kane hinted at next move when he announced Bayern Munich transfer

𓂃When Kane announced his move to Bayern in 2023, he sent a farewell message to Tottenham fans.

ꦯIn the message, Kane made it clear that there is a possibility that he could rekindle his love affair with the Lilywhites.

𒊎The revered goalscorer said at the time: “It’s not a goodbye because you never know how things pan out in the future but it’s a thank you and I’ll see you soon.”

🍸With Kane already hinting at returning to Tottenham one day, it is no surprise that his heart remains in the same place rather than suddenly preferring a future move to Manchester United.

♉As for United, they must continue trying their best to sign one of the best strikers of his generation.

But it seems like a pipe dream at this point for Ruben Amorim and Co.
