(PLO)- The position of Manchester United owner Joel Glazer in the transfer of Anthony Martial for Tottenham’s Harry Kane has been clarified.
Manchester United are consulted by expert to make the transfer of Tottenham striker and England captain Harry Kane this summer, with Antony Martial likely to play a key role.
MU broke the golden rule of Sir Alex Ferguson
(PLO) – Erik ten Hag signed on to become Manchester United manager last summer, but the move broke one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s biggest principles during his time at Old Trafford. .
Arsenal legend Ian Wright urged Manchester United to exchange Anthony Martial plus cash for Tottenham’s Harry Kane in the summer transfer window. But such a plan might face opposition from Joel Glazer, the owner of the Old Trafford team.

MU wants to buy a long-term striker this summer, following they successfully loaned Wout Weghorst in the January transfer window of this year. However, the Dutch striker is only a short-term option for coach Erik Ten Hag following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane, who has spent almost his entire career at Tottenham, will have his contract with the club expired in the summer of 2024 and Tottenham can sell Kane for a certain amount of money.
Kane, 29, is said to be on a shortlist of three strikers United want to sign in the summer. MU’s admiration for the captain of the England team is absolute.

But whether Kane can come to Old Trafford or not completely depends on the will of Tottenham. It must be remembered, Man City once paid Tottenham more than £ 100 million to buy Kane but was still rejected. Therefore, Spurs only let Kane go if they feel it is in the interest of all parties.
If MU buys any striker, it will signal the end of Martial’s eight-year era at Old Trafford. The French striker had a very good pre-season under new coach Erik Ten Hag but as always, entering the season Martial was disappointing.
Wright believes that MU’s exchange of Martial with cash for Kane is “unquestionable”, but the Glazer family previously blocked Jose Mourinho’s attempt to sell Martial. During his time at Old Trafford, the Portuguese strategist wanted to exchange Martial for Barcelona’s Ivan Rakitic.

Joel Glazer came out and refused to give the Frenchman the green light to leave Old Trafford, despite the obvious benefits from the deal. Joel Glazer even compared Martial with Brazilian world football icon Pele. That shows how much the owner of MU values Martial.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright said: “If Manchester United come now, Harry Kane has a year left on his contract, let’s say they put £60m on the table and ‘throw it at someone’ – Martial or whatever That’s a very good deal.
If Manchester United have any serious thoughts on what they need to do next in the transfer market, it’s number 9. There seems to be no doubt that Harry Kane is the man they need. He will take them to ‘somewhere else’.

Anthony Martial has scored five goals in 13 appearances for United this season, but has only scored 84 goals in eight seasons at Old Trafford, meaning he has scored just over 10 goals per season. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Romelu Lukaku, Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo were signed by MU during Martial’s time at Old Trafford and the quartet have all left.
However, Manchester United’s efforts to sign a long-term striker, whether it’s Harry Kane or whoever it is, will mark the end of Anthony Martial’s career at Old Trafford. If the Glazer family completes the sale of Manchester United as planned, it will further accelerate this to become a reality.
Haaland’s release clause, Man City exit plans and dressing room burdens
(PLO) – Erling Haaland has “boomed” English football in his first season at Manchester City, scoring 25 goals in just 19 Premier League appearances, nine more than Harry Kane.
