According to the Sun, the Red Devils could offer Spurs as much as £170million for Kane as Mourinho seeks to play him up front in a dream partnership with Lukaku next year.

The report adds that Mourinho is a long-time admirer of Kane, and failed to prise him away from White Hart Lane earlier in his career.

Still, United have money to spend and are no stranger to record-breaking deals, having signed Paul Pogba for the current Premier League record fee of £89million last summer, per BBC Sport‘s valuation.
