Transfer: Get him even at £150 million – Merson tells Man Utd to sign player who can win UCL

Arsenal hero, Paul Merson, has urged Manchester United to break the bank to sign Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane.

Merson believes Kane would give Manchester United a chance to win the UEFA Champions League, UCL.

Kane has been one of the best strikers in the world in recent years.

The England captain has scored 265 goals for Tottenham in 412 appearances.

The 29-year-old has scored 15 goals in 18 Premier League matches for Tottenham so far this season and is only behind Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (21) in the Golden Boot race.

“In an age where clubs spend money for fun and world-class centre-forwards are a rarity, I would find it crazy if Manchester United didn’t break the bank for Harry Kane,” Merson told the Daily Star.

“If United ever want to catch Manchester City, they’ve got to go and get Kane.

“I don’t know what I’m missing here. Even if he costs £150 million and it is a four or five-year contract, you’re buying over 100 goals. Who else is going to give you that?”

“Everyone talks about Erling Haaland, but for me, Kane could deliver similar numbers in that Manchester City team and even add more assists. Call me silly, but Kane would even give United a chance of winning the Champions League, in my opinion.”
