Manchester United still have a long way to go to solve the challenge at the very top. Martial. Hojlund. Zirkzee. Benjamin Sesko. Not exactly a string of signings that has created any big moments for United supporters, although Sesko’s debut season showed there is potential there. For several years, England’s striker king Harry Kane has been on his wish list, but without success. Entering his final year of contract with Bayern Munich, there is another possibility, but it has become clearer and clearer that United boss Jim Ratcliffe will not succeed in bringing his favourite player to Old Trafford.
Harry Kane has for the past six months told how good he is doing at Bayern, while the Bayern bosses in turn tell how bright it looks to extend the contract with the super striker.

Yet, in the world of football, we’ve seen everything pointing towards signing in the past – until it doesn’t anymore. It’s this opportunity that Ratcliffe and the United gang are waiting for. According to German journalist Christian Falk, it’s just a matter of waking up from the dream of seeing Kane in a Manchester United shirt.
“Harry Kane was our winner of Football Star of the Year at the Sport Bild Awards. I spoke to Herbert Hainer, the club president, about the situation and everyone said: ‘relax’; everyone thinks a new contract will only be a matter of time. There are some questions around the contract talks that need to be clarified, but everyone is confident that things will work out. I think we will see a contract advertisement in the next month – certainly this year, not next year,” Falk begins on CFBayernInsider.

-Then Harry Kane is out of the market for all other clubs for a long time. Apologies again to his long-time admirers, Manchester United!, the journalist concludes.
