Although the top priority was indicated as the immediate need to add a top-class striker to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo, coach Erik Ten Hag insists the club will not panic shopping in this transfer window. Their ability to score at the moment is inferior. Marcus Rashford is their mainstay but has only scored six goals in the Premier League. Perhaps Erik Ten is cautious with this choice. Otherwise, they are just burning money.
I feel United has made every signings they needed to have but the only one they need to do now is a striker. There is no dire need since Rashford can fill the position and he has done a great job last season as well. Still I think there needs to be a striker who can give them lot of goals like Harry Kane. I don't know what happened but United actually had Harry Kane in list. I think Harry Kane is a safe and a very good target as he has got PL experience and scores at least 20 goals per season. He is a proper team player up in attack which can really give United a strong edge. Also 100m will be like money well spent for United.
I agree that Kane would have been a good transfer for Manchester United, but they have Bayern competing with them for that striker and I think Bayern would not shy away from raising their offer if they need to. It is said that Kane already gave his word to Bayern, but who knows if that is true. It is complicated to make a prediction about how Manchester United will do in the next season and when Kane wants nothing more but titles, I think that Bayern would be the better choice for him. What are the chances that Manchester United wins a title next season? The chances are probably low. They might have a chance to win the FA Cup, but I doubt that they are strong enough win the Champions League or the Premier League.
