Manchester United legend warns against “ridiculous” situation if they sign Harry Kane
Manchester United have been advised against spending money on Tottenham striker Harry Kane this summer as they will have to replace him again in a few years.
Former Reds star Andy Cole believes his former club cannot make such a short-term deal again, urging them instead to invest in someone who could work for them. in the next 5 years.
Man Utd have signed a number of aging stars recently, with varying degrees of success, with Robin van Persie taking the club back to the league title in his first season in 2012/13, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic has also made a significant impact in his relatively short span of time. Old Trafford.
However, more recent signings such as Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo have not been performing well, so it will be difficult for United as they try to figure out what to do with their attack next season.
Is Harry Kane what Manchester United need? Kane seems totally idealistic in some ways, but Cole has made it clear that he thinks the England international's age becomes an issue pretty quickly.
"Manchester United can no longer opt for a short-term solution," Cole told William Hill, quoted by Metro.
"They can't go and spend £80m or £100m on Harry Kane. Two years from now, they will come back and say to themselves 'he's 32, we have to find another striker'. They cannot afford to find themselves in this situation again. “When you look at the recognized strikers Manchester United have had, you look at the likes of Robin van Persie, but the crazy thing is that he was only there for two years, and since then, they've only followed. each other for two years.
"A football club like Manchester United can't keep having different strikers for two years at the same time, that's ridiculous.
"Now they know they have to sign someone who will give them five years."
