Former Manchester United coach, Rene Meulensteen has added to the growing voices that says that Harry Kane is the signing that will turn Manchester United into title challengers.
The Red Devils haven’t won the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson retired and they have spent a ton of money in their attempts to do so.
After the likes of Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho failed to win the title despite spending significant money, they are now looking to achieve that under Ole Gunnar Solkjear.
The Norwegian manager has been backed heavily in the transfer market and they have continued their spending spree this summer with the signing of Donny van de Beek.
Despite spending all that money on players, Meulensteen still considers Kane to be the missing piece of their jigsaw.
He told TalkSPORT that the Red Devils will automatically become title challengers if they can land Kane from Tottenham.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s former assistant told talkSPORT: “What is vitally important is that United need to have a really good start to the season, so they don’t lose any ground and they are in there and they can keep competing. That will grow the belief.
“I think with maybe another good signing, I keep saying they should bring in a really top, top striker. For instance, if they were able to get Kane – which I don’t think they can – but if they could get Kane, I would say ‘yes, they will compete for the title next year’.”
Meulensteen is playing fantasy football, we could all play that game. If Tottenham signed Messi they would be title contenders. The truth is that United have zero chance of signing Kane, well, not this season anyway.
Wait, Meulensteen reckons man ure currently have a league winning defence?!
Is he unwell?
