The Red Devils were aware of their need for more offensive strength in the 2023 summer transfer window. Given England captain Kane’s impressive track record at Tottenham, he seemed like a natural option for Manchester United to consider.

As reported by The Athletic, these plans had to be abandoned because it became clear that the required funds weren’t available, and no serious attempts were made to secure Kane. Meeting Kane’s contract demands would have required funds akin to those used for Cristiano Ronaldo’s deal, which Manchester United couldn’t afford.

This financial constraint was partly due to their prior expenditure of £60 million ($76m), plus an additional £10m ($13m) in add-ons, and substantial wages, to acquire Brazilian midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid in 2022. This move limited their flexibility within Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

Manchester United opted for Casemiro to make an immediate impact in midfield, as transfer plans were accelerated following Ten Hag’s appointment as coach. Instead of pursuing Kane in 2023, who eventually signed with Bayern Munich, the Red Devils focused on signings like Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund.
