The report also adds that United will push for Tottenham striker Harry Kane, but believe a deal is “unlikely”. Also on the transfer agenda, reports The Telegraph, is a left-winger and another midfielder alongside Mount.
Despite criticism of David De Gea, whose deal is up in the summer, the report states United will not spend significant money on a goalkeeper this summer. An announcement about De Gea’s new deal is expected shortly.
