All we do is wait till Bayern agree a fee then match it.
Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

We need to go all in on Kane.
And all it takes is for Kane to say he won’t go anywhere else and Levy has no choice. We need to be making sure Kane is clear we are interested.
‘Kane was United’s No 1 summer target before the club decided to pull out of trying to sign him due to the difficulty of dealing with Levy. Old Trafford officials are now pondering a fresh move, with a potential £100m fee not necessarily a stumbling block. What could be, however, is Kane’s salary demands, which are believed to be in the region of £30m a year.’
Well hello there Mr Kane.
Yes, yes we do. A transfer saga worthy of muppetry. Let's hope Bayern doesn't spoil the party early.
Almost £600k per week 
Get in the fecking sea, Harry.
Get in the fecking sea, Harry.
Choo fecking choo, get fecked Levy
Watch us pull out of the Hojlund deal and Kane go to Bayern and Hojlund to PSG
It’s fecking on now
All aboard the Kane train!
We need both
Unpopular opinion...
Kane symbolizes everything we are trying to move away from. A player who will have played his best football at his former club, who will come for a massive fee and salary, blocking us from doing other business and likely a problem to move off the wage bill in 2/3 years.
I'd rather go for this lad at Atalanta if he really is as promising as people say. Kane was a signing that should have been made 2 years ago.

I just don’t think we can afford £100m plus his wages.. even with Qatar money.
Only way I see us getting him is if Spurs panic and sell him for £70m-£80m or we get him for free next summer.

And we end up with Brian Brobbey.
Feck FFP get him.
Not sure how the funds are looking but I could see the Glazers approving extra money to be spent this summer for a name like Kane to soften the blow of them potentially staying on.
Plus the only way we'd likely be able to even tempt them to sell domestically to us instead of an interested party abroad who have made huge inroads already like Bayern would be to completely blow their bid out of the water

Have you read the article. It says the owner wants him gone now not for free.
Almost £600k per week
Get in the fecking sea, Harry.
Please, like Bayern would ever pay him that much. Someone's making up salary demands.
Exactly. If we just match Bayern he will sign for us IMO.
Swap him with Maguire and Sancho? Could cover most of the transfer fee (if Spurs are dumb enough) and the wages 
Always thought ETH wanted 2 strikers and we’d make a late move for Kane after selling players.
100m for Kane is much better value impact wise than Hojlund for 60m
Makes us instant title contenders IMO.
We can’t possible afford close to 150-160 million for both with Kane apparently wanting over 500k wages a week too, there’s just no way
Yes but also no.
I don't get it either. Bayern are one of the top 5 clubs in the world for me with a massive following. And with Harry in they will surely be better next season.
Munich is a great city too, and not a difficult adjustment for an Englishman. Bayern will be second favourites for the UCL if they sign Kane, I'd guess.
The only major downside is he'll miss out of the PL scorer record.
We absolutely can afford it, that's not the issue.
We can if we swap him for Maguire and Martial. No? No takers? Please?
If their owner has made it clear that he must be sold this summer since he's not looking to resign, it would be criminally formalize our interest and throw our hat into the ring
Could very much prove to be the difference between another close top 4 campaign or no.21/a deep run in Europe
It's only been a month since we briefed that we'd pulled out of trying to sign Kane. I'd rather we not get involved in another protracted transfer saga that ends up with him not joining and us missing out on other targets.
The return of the Sith: Ed Woodward
He's 47 behind and given he's not reliant on pace will probably still be playing at 35-36. Plenty of time to get some freebie Bundesliga titles and come back for 3-4 seasons.
You’re United’s accoutant then? We apparently need to sell players to make a bid for 30mill Amrabat but we have unlimited funds for Kane?
Thinking about the wage a bit more.
I guess we would always willing to pay him a bit more than Rashford (£325k).
Let’s say we give him de Geas old wage of £375k.
Plus we are removing the likes of Telles (£90k) and Bailly (£90k) from our wage bill. Plus plenty of other dead weight.
I guess we could easily give him £450-500k per week.
What wage are Bayern offering?

..but really yes
What is this based on? I keep reading stuff like this.
Only reason Levy hasn't sold him before is because he had leverage. Now he has virtually none. And the little bit he has left he can use to still make a decent amount of money.
Levy will obviously be desperate to sell to Bayern over us to save face, and that is probably the most likely outcome because of it. But if we come in with 30m more or whatever, he'll probably take it. Especially if Kane refuses to take the Bayern deal.
I'm offended by anyone who says we shouldn't go for Kane.
The fact Spurs do now want to sell (the idea they’d piss 80m away was always bullshit yet some believed it) gives Kane and his chosen club all the leverage. He can now decide where he wants to go. Sign Hojlund now, work on selling Fred, Elanga, Hannibal, Henderson, Martial, Williams, DVB and Bailly - and then have Kane say he isn’t signing a new deal middle of august. It won’t be a 100m fee then.
