Neil Custis: Kane’s So Overpriced Marcus Rashford Is Looking Like A Good Bet

Another day, another article on the future of Harry Kane.

Yesterday we brought you the report from the Daily Mail which claimed that Real Madrid was not targetting the Tottenham striker.

And now The Sun has ruled Manchester United out as a potential destination for the 26-year-old. Apparently Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prepared to shelve an expensive pursuit of Kane in favour of prioritising other signings with the supposed £200m that our hero might cost.

Solskjaer, obsessed with United’s history of producing their own talent, is also keen to protect Marcus Rashford’s status as the leader of his attack.

With United and Madrid seemingly out of the running, that has about halved the field if Kane was looking to leave when the transfer window reopened, or if Daniel Levy wanted to sell to generate some cash.

So as this author predicted a couple of weeks ago when the Kane rumours first surfaced, it is looking more and more likely he will be staying.
