Without his name on the dotted line of a contract extension, Manchester United believes it has just the opening it needs to get a deal done with the high-scoring striker: Harry Kane has placed a number of Premier League clubs including Manchester United on alert as contract talks with Bayern Munich have not progressed. Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Premier League clubs could take advantage of his potential availability to lure him back to England. “Harry Kane’s future is going to be interesting,” Brown told Football Insider.

“A lot will depend on what he wants to do, because everybody you speak to says he’s happy at Bayern Munich, but now it’s been suggested he could be tempted away. When people [Hoeness] are saying things like that, of course you’re going to be aware of it. “If his contract talks maybe aren’t going as planned and they think he could be tempted to go to Saudi, what’s stopping a Premier League clubs from making a move?

Whoever it may be, Man United maybe or any other club, if Kane is considering leaving Bayern Munich they would be silly not to be having a look. “He might want to return to England and have a go at breaking Shearer’s record, that was all the talk when he was leaving Tottenham. By all accounts, I think he’s happy at Bayern and that’s probably not going to change, but if there is a suggestion he could leave, the interest will be there.
