Man United 'are willing to pay Harry Kane £300,000-a-week'

Manchester United ‘are willing to pay Harry Kane £300,000-a-week’, if they can persuade Tottenham to sell this summer… with England team-mate Marcus Rashford ‘also in line for matching salary’ if he signs new deal

  • Manchester United are reportedly willing to offer Harry Kane a huge salary
  • The Tottenham striker could be set to rake in £300k-per-week at Old Trafford
  • United have also reportedly offered Marcus Rashford the same pay-packet 

Manchester United are apparently ready to make Harry Kane one of the club’s highest-paid earners by offering him a staggering £300,000-per-week deal to move to Old Trafford.

Kane is currently on the books of Tottenham, but United have began to pursue a deal for the England captain, with manager Erik ten Hag prioritising bringing in a new striker in the summer.

The club have also offered to raise Marcus Rashford’s salary to the same figure as they look to tie the superstar winger down to a new long-term deal, according to The Sun.

Rashford will enter the final year of his existing contract at the end of the season and United are desperate to keep hold of a player that was raised in the club’s youth ranks.

The additional funds will reportedly be gathered by David de Gea’s new contract that will see him drop his weekly wage and lose his status as the squad’s biggest earner.

De Gea’s proposed new deal will supposedly see his salary slashed from its current £375,000-per-week sum to a new offer of £200,000.

That will free up more money for Kane should he decide to move to United, along with increasing Rashford’s wage as the club look to reward him for his best year yet.

Rashford has scored 28 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils this season and helped guide them to a Carabao Cup title and FA Cup final during Ten Hag’s debut season in charge.

Meanwhile, Kane has bagged 26 goals across three tournaments with Spurs, but 24 of those have come in the Premier League compared to Rashford’s 15.

It is reported that Kane will see his existing Spurs deal increased by £100,000 at the 13-time English top-flight champions and Rashford’s similarly raised from £200,000 to over quarter-of-a-million.

The England strike duo will meet at Old Trafford on Thursday evening where Tottenham will attempt to dent United’s Champions League qualification hopes.

That could be a dress rehearsal for Kane who would be Tottenham’s most high-profile exit since Gareth Bale left to join Real Madrid for a then world-record fee in 2013.

However, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could block any attempts for Kane by rival clubs and may look to keep hold of his prized asset at risk of letting him leave for free in 2024.

Levy is a notoriously staunch negotiator and previously waved away Manchester City’s interest in Kane just two years ago.

Should Tottenham fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League however then it will place them in a position whereby they may need to raise more funds through player sales.

Any deal for Kane would likely command a figure close to £100m despite the record-breaking England goalscorer turning 30 in July. 

Meanwhile, Tottenham are still pursuing a new permanent manager after firing interim head coach Cristian Stellini on Monday.
