Manchester United should go all out for Harry Kane

United need to sign a new striker this summer and Harry Kane should be the target. The total lack of goal scoring from strikers last season means United need to revamp their attacking force. Recruiting Memphis Depay a goal scoring winger, has no doubt been a big step forward, but he may take time to settle into a new League. More needs to be done if United are going to challenge for the title and a young English sensation, who was unstoppable last season would fit in perfectly with Wayne Rooney up front.

Kane was miles ahead of United's strikers last season.

The fears over Kane being a one season wonder are understandable, but he has shown great signs that he is the real deal. It is not just luck to perform at such a high level for a whole season. The key is that he scores all types of goals. He can score long range goals with his left and right foot. He knows how to take free kicks, and when his team are attacking in the box he is a real poacher.  

Kane is a big game player. He scored a hat-trick against the Champions, and scored away from home at grounds like Anfield. His favourite game was probably the North London derby, where he produced a double, including a sensational header to give Spurs the victory. He also became the main penalty taker for Spurs and never bottled under pressure. 

An England call up was rewarded to Kane for his amazing form. Big questions were asked on whether he could make the step up to international level. He came on as a sub on his debut but scored after 79 seconds, the boy could do no wrong. 

Plenty of respectable sources have revealed that United and Louis van Gaal are interested in the player and that should not be a surprise. 31 goals is an incredible feat. When you look at Wayne Rooney in his first two seasons at Everton, he scored 8 goals in 02/03 and then 9 in 03/04. Although Rooney was a lot younger, we signed him for £30million. That is a lot of money, especially when you consider inflation. In 2004 that was expensive. 

Purchasing Rooney for £30million was also a risk worth taking.

United paid £27million last summer for Luke Shaw, which is a lot after just one good season for a left back. I really don’t see the problem in paying a large amount and even more than £27million for Harry Kane. Falcao has already departed and Robin van Persie is certainly getting older and has been average for the last two seasons. Kane would fit in perfectly, he is Premier League proven and could build a fantastic partnership with Rooney for club and country.

Unfortunately Kane recently signed a new deal, and he does seem like quite a grounded player who would show loyalty to Spurs. Maybe we won’t sign him, not just yet anyway, but if he did arrive, I think it would be strange if United fans were not excited, because matching his form from last season would surely fire United to the title.
