Erik ten Hag has talked up Harry Kane‘s qualities ahead of Manchester United‘s meeting with Tottenham Hotspur but has refused to get involved in talk that the England striker could move to Old Trafford in the summer.
United are looking for a striker ahead of the transfer window and Kane is nearing the final year of his contract at Spurs.

The 29-year-old and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen are on Ten Hag’s radar but asked whether Kane would fit into his team, the Dutchman remained tight-lipped.
“I am preparing my team for a game against Spurs,” Ten Hag told a news conference on Wednesday ahead of the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “He is one of the players that we have to face from Spurs, so I don’t think about anything else.”
Ten Hag did, however, admit he’s a fan of Kane, who has scored 24 goals in the Premier League this season.
He added: “The number of goals, and also his key actions [that] come to a goal, final passes as well, he is just a great player, great personality as well.”
