My post was not about players clamouring to move to CL clubs, it was about the absence of players clamouring to move to EL clubs.
In particular it was about the absurdly fanciful notion that Kane might want to "force" a move to Europa-League-playing United.
Even if we're in EL for the moment I don't think young players like Kane will be that shortsighted and rule out a move to United for just that reason alone.
Especially now when we seem really happy to spend our money and with a world class manager in charge it's just a matter of time until we're back in the Champions League!
With that said, I can't see Kane leave Spurs in the nearest future and it doesn't matter if you're Man Utd, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid (unless you're ready to overpay - both in fee and wage).

Don't see a reason this summer for him to move anywhere. If teams leapfrog them next season (United, City, Liverpool) then there would be a valid claim for a move. Tottenham would need to unravel like they did toward the end of the season, though and that's hard to imagine given all the young talent they have.
So cute when fans of other teams rush in to tell us that we can't have their players, I think it means they are very worried

I can assure you that the last thing I'm worried about is Harry Kane moving to Man Utd this summer. There is more chance of me meeting Angelina Jolie and my wife following through on our 'famous people if we meet in real life we can have one night of passion with' list.
If he was available for 30-40m (which he isn't) it would be worth considering, but we can get a better striker for at least 2 years in Ibra. Meanwhile we have Rashford develop to somwhere near, if not higher than Kane's level.
I think you might be living in a past life.
Ibrahimovic has like 50 goals and 16 assists in 51 games this season for PSG (and 34 in the last 35 games for Sweden). I don't think it's to hard to believe he can perform better than Harry Kane next season
Plus he has that title winning mentality and experience. I would rather have him upfront next season if I had the choice between the two
I was more referring to you putting Kane in the same price bracket as the likes of Benteke and Juan Mata.
As for Ibra, great player no doubt, but he's 34, 35 in October and nothing lasts forever, not even the cold November rain.
Yeah, I was wrong. But I doubt the big teams will have another off season, especially as two of them won't be distracted by the Champions league.
It was Spurs big chance to win the prem, and they blew it. Chance gone.
Just checking how good you are at predicting.
I didn't say that. I said it was up to Kane to force it through if he wanted to join.
He would be rejecting CL with Spurs for a season, but has the opportunity to lead United's attack in a new era. If you think this is not a temptation, then you're a fool.
I want to point something out to stringer. Spurs yeah were great! They finished 4 points ahead of us and during the season we were managed by a moron. So we're in a current bad state - what are Spurs? We finished same points as...City. The fact is we played the way we were made too but that problems gone. Let's see what happens in the summer. Kane is going nowhere but let's not go over board. As great as Spurs played, we still only finished 4 points behind them. If you look at where we lost the points, much of them should have been avoided.
Kane is a boyhood Spurs fan therefore I'm certain he will want to see how far their team can develop and won't be leaving this summer. Now if Spurs falter and don't continue to improve then I do see him leaving at some point. If he does he will have the choice of a number of clubs.

If he's still doing this well in a year or two, it wont just be United after him.
Probably Madrid too.
And if they want him (and he's open to a move from Tottenham,) he's probably theirs.

I think he'd likely move to Madrid than us.
But Spurs would need to falter and not get in the champions league for a few years for him to leave. Also the Spurs fan in him would most likely want to lead the team out when the new stadium opens.
Whether Spurs fans would want to admit it or not, Ibra is a better player than Kane. That's not to say Kane won't be as good as him, who knows. Also, I wasn't saying Kane was worth 30-40m, I'm saying that's the price we should only be interested him for, any more and we may as well get a better player for free!
Ibra was a better player than Kane and probably better than Kane will ever be, but at 35 in the frantic PL no way. Kane is PL proven with 46 PL goals in the last 2 seasons and is 22, there isn't a PL club who wouldn't take him in a heartbeat.
I'm not trying to play down how well Kane has done over the last 2 seasons, he's proved me and a lot of people wrong. I'm not saying we wouldn't want him either! Ibra is a better player than him now and the frantic PL isn't a great argument, as Kane is hardly a speed merchant.
Well see next season, but I see Ibra equalling whatever Kane does next season.
Edit: provided he comes here of course!!
If they were to both stay fit I would very much doubt it, Ibra has been playing in what is basically non competitive football for the last few years at PSG, the PL and what PSG face week in week out are poles apart. I seriously think a 35 year old Ibra is now too old to adapt to the frantic PL and it's not about a players pace but the pace and physical intensity of the games week after week.
PL football is becoming a younger and younger mans game.
He is in a lot better nick than you are giving him credit for, but I do see the point. It will be very interesting to see how he copes week after week of matches in the PL. If he does adapt though, do you think he'd perform as well as Kane?
Is that a genuine prediction? Or just blind optimistic hope?
No I genuinely think so, if he comes. It's interesting if you hop over to the Lacazette thread, there are people clamouring that he'd be a wonderful option for Spurs, Pool or Us apparently; yet Ibra outscored him and played more games over the season. Why would Ibra not adapt, yet Lacazette would?
Cause ones linked to United and the other to Spurs 
It's just trying to curb the delusion. So many people on here have the belief that United can get amazing deals for any player and end up rationalising how it works in these threads. Like dumb player swaps that make little sense, a Liverpool like arrogance that they have a mystical pull to players because of their history and that these clubs they are buying from are scrimping for pennies and can't resist accepting the mega money United have to spend.So cute when fans of other teams rush in to tell us that we can't have their players, I think it means they are very worried
Of course opposition fans will reply to that sort of nonsense.
In the last few years we signed both Arsenal and Chelsea's reigning player of the season.
We may not be a as big of a draw as Barca or Madrid but we're as big as any English club. Making us out to be Liverpool as if our success was decades ago is ridiculous.
How is this thread still going?
Fair enough, I'm pretty out of touch with French football at the moment to be honest.
Not being in the CL for a season is not a big deal, just like being in the CL once in 5 years is not for players.
United havent pulled off a deal like that since Fergie left which, coincidentally, was when the trophies dried up.
Foreign footballers don't care about your history and you are not the most attractive team in England. You'd be foolish to think otherwise, sorry.
Kane will not leave Spurs for any team other than Madrid or Barcelona for another few years. If he joins a team other than them, it will be in a couple of years when he does a Sol Campbell. (Which is, personally, what I see happening.)
No chance he'll go to Arsenal.
Chelski wanted rid of Mata, so counts for nothing.
Gol123 is right ... there are a fair few United fans who seem to believe that United have this irresistible draw and can pretty much attract any player they want whenever they want.
However, the reality is very different. Kane is a case in point: signing him is way, way beyond United's reach.
Glad you cleared that up with all the players were missing out on to our rivals in England.
Who is winning all these trophies that we're not winning btw? How come we have to win title after title at a Sir Alex rate to be a draw to these foreigners yet our domestic rivals have scattered success and it doesn't hurt them?
All these successful and attractive domestic rivals of ours.
Another thing if we do sign Ibra there is no club that has signed higher profile foreign players than United in the last few years.
We sold you Mata more like.
Bit hard for another club to sell him to us tbf.
It's unlikely Mata wanted to leave Chelsea for any reason other than them not wanting him any more. So it's a poor example of United's pull. Like Di Maria, he was told he wasn't wanted any more, so he took what he could get. And United was basically the only option.
The days of United being able to 'bully' teams into selling are over.
And if Kane keeps scoring at this rate, he'll probably be off to Spain... unless he's willing to sit around at Tottenham and run down his contract (which would make no sense.)

Spurs is Madrids feeder club, everyone knows that, even @GlastonSpur knows this.
No white text? granted United haven't the same sway since Sir Alex left, but theres no chance in hell a down to earth Harry Kane would crap on the Spurs fans to cross North London, to a perennial loser Arsenal team at that, certainly not when he'd have the option of Barca/Madrid and co. on the table.
In United case it's not just once "for a season" - it's twice in the last three years, which puts a rather different complexion on things. Players tend to notice these things.
But in any case, the main point is that it's totally delusional to think that Kane might try to "force" a move to United
