Harry Kane sent Manchester United transfer warning

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has sent a warning to Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane over a move to Manchester United. The England striker has been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham, after revealing that he would be open to leaving the club if they failed to win trophies. Manchester United being identified by many as one of Kane's most likely destinations. However, Keown believes that Kane's best option would be to stay put. "How many times did Manchester United try to get Alan Shearer? Had he gone there, the Premier League's all-time top scorer would have won trophy after trophy," Keown told the Mail. "Between 1996, the year Shearer signed for Newcastle, and 2006, the year of his retirement, United won five titles. Yet he stayed tremendously loyal to his boyhood club. Now the question is whether Harry Kane should do the same. "The key difference with Shearer is he won the Premier League with Blackburn before heading home to Newcastle. Kane hasn't had that. At 26 years old, he is still waiting for that first taste of silverware. "Maybe other clubs are in better positions to tick that box for him. But my initial reaction is that, for the time being, Kane should stay at Tottenham. He needs nurturing back to his best after his injury. He needs games, the support of those around him and perhaps some patience. He will get that with Tottenham. "Maybe in six months' time, once he's back to banging in goals, then we can revisit the topic of his future. We can also assess whether Spurs are looking any more ambitious under Jose Mourinho. For now, I say Kane should stay." Source: Football.london
