FootballHarry Kane Given Unique Mbappe Role as Man United Plot to Pair Him With Marcus Rashford
- Tottenham are reportedly prepared to do anything to ensure Harry Kane remains with them longer
- He has become a priority target for Manchester United, who want him to partner Marcus Rashford
- Tottenham is also currently in the market for a new manager after parting ways with Antonio Conte
Harry Kane has reportedly been given sweeping powers by Tottenham Hotspur, in a bid to scuttle attempts by Manchester United or any other club to sign him in the summer.
United are among the leading candidates for the Three Lions captain as they seek to partner him with his international compatriot, Marcus Rashford.
Kane has one more year left on his contract and speculation has always been rife that he needs to move to a 'more ambitious' club. Despite being one of the most lethal strikers of his generation, he has no trophy to show for it.
The soon-to-be 30-year-old likely has one more huge contract move to make in his career with other European powerhouses after his signature.

Understandably, Spurs CEO, Daniel Levy wants to hold on to Kane, in the past denying him a move when Manchester City came knocking back in 2021.
This time around, the contract is against him and as the Mirror reports, Levy has handed Kane the power to have a say in who becomes the next manager.
Since sacking Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs has seen accomplished managers, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte come and go and it will be vital to get the next decision right.

By handing Kane a voice in the decision, Spurs will be looking to convince him to stay on.
Paris Saint-Germain pulled a similar tactic last summer when they increased Mbappe's influence in the decisions made at the club. The Frenchman was poised to leave for Real Madrid on a free transfer.
As the Kane talk continues, the Telegraph reports that Erik ten Hag is keen on getting Rashford on a long-term deal which could see him become the club's best-paid player.
Man United are also said to be 'seriously working on getting Kane' as the Red Devils' Dutch manager looks for an accomplished number 9 after the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo.
United could move for Mbappe
Sports Brief had earlier reported that a potential new owner of Man United is already plotting big-money moves should he take over at Old Trafford.
