During the summer of 2023, Manchester United expressed interest in England’s captain, Harry Kane. However, they couldn’t meet Tottenham’s asking price, and Kane ended up moving to Munich in pursuit of major silverware. Despite this, the saga may not be over yet.

According to FootballTransfers, United are considering reigniting their interest in Kane. This comes amidst uncertainty over Thomas Tuchel’s future at the Allianz Arena, which could lead to Bayern Munich sanctioning player sales in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Reports suggest that United will pursue Kane if he indicates a desire to return to the Premier League, despite being under contract in Germany until 2027. FootballTransfers claims that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who acquired a 25% stake in United, is prepared to allocate up to £250 million for significant recruitment efforts at Old Trafford in 2024.

In addition to Kane, Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, a long-standing target, is reportedly back on United’s radar. However, De Jong’s camp would need to initiate discussions, given United’s previous efforts in pursuing him. Other players linked with United include Marcus Edwards from Sporting, Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, and Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton.
