Betting on Harry Kane’s Next Club: Would he fit in at Manchester United?

For a time last summer, It seemed like Harry Kane’s journey with Tottenham Hotspur was finally coming to an end. The England international will be remembered as one of Tottenham’s all-time greats. He was a key figure in their Champions League campaign in 2018-2019 when they reached the final. With Kane leading the line they also managed to challenge for the Premier League title on a few occasions but were unable to finish top of the pile.  For sure, Kane would be remembered fondly by the Spurs supporters, but if he leaves the club in the coming year, it’s likely he won’t have any major trophies under his belt. It’s every footballer’s dream to become a legend at a club like Spurs, however, a player with the talent Kane has should be winning titles, not just competing! For gamblers who fancy a change from ruletti, it may be wise to listen to make some cash. The majority of the football betting world are predicting that Kane’s next club will be based in Manchester. It seems both United and City look set to battle each other for the Londoner’s signature. In this article, we will take a look at whether or not he would be a good fit for the Red Devils. Kane’s Price Tag Even during the pandemic, the best footballers on the planet carry a heavy price tag, especially if one of those players plays for Tottenham Hotspur. The North London club’s current chairman is Daniel Levy, a shrewd businessman who is known for making a lot of money in the transfer market.  He has generated huge profits from selling players like Gareth Bale, Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov. Although it is unclear what club he will be playing for next season, what is clear is that if he leaves Spurs, Kane won’t be going cheap. The 28-year-old is coming into his prime, so a club should be able to get at least 4 or 5 years out of him.  However, his resale value will surely have plummeted in that time. If a club were to sign Kane for over £150 million, in five years he will probably be worth a fraction of that. Very few players over the age of 30 sell for over £100 million, so clubs will have to consider this when buying him. While Real Madrid were rumoured as a possible destination in previous years, it is now believed they simply can’t afford the figures being mentioned. Do Manchester United Need Kane? With United extending Edison Cavani’s current contract for another year, and Mason Greenwood performing well, many are wondering if they need Harry Kane. Cavani has a lot of experience, and he has adapted well in the English league. Mason Greenwood looks to be the real deal, and many are hoping that Cavani will teach him how to be the main man at a club, so is it worth United spending a large sum of money on another forward?  However, players like Harry Kane don’t come up for sale often, and Manchester United is one of the only clubs that could afford his transfer fee and his lucrative wages. United have a reputation of spending big money on players, and despite missing out on attacking player Antoine Griezmann previously, and trying again last summer, still managed to end up bolstering their front line, by re-signing club legend Cristiano Ronaldo.    It’s a huge prospect to think of Kane linking up with Ronaldo and would surely make Manchester United unstoppable going forward. Yet, the cost is off putting and the reality appears to be that they are strong in the forward department already. It’s felt there should be more emphasis put on recruiting a defensive midfielder as the current players don’t appear up to the task and this could scupper any move for Kane. Would Manchester United Trade Players with Spurs to Lure Kane? To get the deal done, United could include some of their current players into the deal. There have been rumours that the French striker Anthony Martial and English attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard could be part of the deal. Although Martial played incredible in the 19/20 season, he has struggled to hit the same heights this season. He also sustained an injury which put him on the sidelines for the later part of the season. Lingard played superbly when joining West Ham on loan in January and indeed has performed well for Manchester United since his return. Yet, these are two attacking players who could certainly be used to sweeten the deal for Spurs. Spurs fans won’t want to see Kane leaving. However, if he goes they will want to make sure they have someone that will be ready to replace him. If both Martial and Lingard arrive at Spurs, most Spurs supporters would be happy. However, because Tottenham has failed to reach the Champions League next season, it might be hard to tempt United players to leave.  Kane gets Injured Frequently The standards set at Manchester United are high, and the best players are expected to perform well week in week out throughout the whole season. This season they will be playing in the Champions League again, while they will also want to challenge for the Premier League title and the domestic cups. Silverware is important at Old Trafford, so the best players are expected to play approximately 50 games a season.  Kane is known to pick up knocks now and again. One of the main reasons why Ronaldo has been so consistent is that he rarely gets injured. Kane sustains his fair share of injuries and it could cost the club a lot of money if he is sidelined for a long time. Although this is the same risk when signing any new player, Kane seems to be quite injury prone. Manchester United will have to take this into account if they decide to spend millions on him.  Summary After re-signing Ronaldo, Manchester United’s current owners might be keen to

Middlesbrough vs Chelsea Match Preview

Middlesbrough has had a sensational FA Cup run full of giant killings and they will look to end the hopes of another Premier League club. They have eliminated Manchester United and Tottenham to reach this stage of the competition and they will feel confident they can go even further. Their home has become a fortress and they head into this match having not lost any of their last nine matches at home. That stat shows the odds are stacked against Chelsea even though Thomas Tuchel’s side is the best in the world right now. The Blues have won the Champions League and Club World Cup in the space of one year and they have just lost the League Cup final against Liverpool. They have the players to win this game, but Boro has proved too strong to handle to several teams in the competition already and will now look to end Chelsea’s run. The last time these clubs met was in 2017, but Chelsea has a solid head to head record against them, winning all their last five games against each other.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Match Preview

Arsenal will look to get back to winning ways when they face Aston Villa in the Premier League for this game. The Gunners have just been beaten 2-0 at home by Liverpool, but they will feel Liverpool is one of the most in-form clubs in the world now. Mikel Arteta’s side has done very well against lesser opponents, but can they beat Villa? They might not be playing against Liverpool, but they will face a former Liverpool star in hot form. Philippe Coutinho joined Steven Gerrard’s side at the start of this year and he has been lighting up the Premier League. The midfielder has 4 goals from 9 Premier League games and will be keen to improve on that tally when he visits Villa. Arsenal won the reverse of this fixture, but Villa had won the previous three matches between both clubs and would be fancying their chances of upsetting the odds in this game.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Match Preview

City will visit Palace hoping to keep the gap between them and Liverpool at the top of the league table at 6 points, before the Reds play their outstanding game. Pep Guardiola’s side are under a lot of pressure to keep winning matches and Jurgen Klopp’s men relentlessly pursue them. Both clubs will still face each other in the league this season in a game that could decide where the title ends, but City needs to keep winning. Palace has been an exciting club to watch under Patrick Vieira this season and they will put up a real show in London for this game. They have won so many matches, but they have done enough to secure a comfortable finish inside the top half of the league table. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last four matches and will not want to lose that record at home to City. City was beaten by Tottenham not so long ago, and they will be worry about losing to yet another London club. When both clubs met in the reverse of this fixture, City lost 2-0 at home to an unfancied Palace side, and a similar result will be disastrous.

Leicester City vs Leeds United Match Preview

Leeds United’s new manager, Jesse Marsch will look to get off to a winning start when he takes his side to visit Leicester City for this crunch Premier League game. The American will quickly want to plug holes in a very leaky defence that conceded 20 goals in last month alone. Leeds’ defence has always been poor, but this time they just concede and rarely score, which forced them to sack Marcelo Bielsa. Leicester City is recovering from a bad form which nearly cost Brendan Rodgers his job and they will want to get their three points from Leeds. They have won their last two matches against Randers and Burnley. The return of Jamie Vardy to full fitness means they will have a strong squad for this game. While Leicester have three wins from their last five matches, Leeds has lost their last four matches in all competitions and conceded 10 goals in the last two. This stat means Vardy could take good advantage of the Whites and score as many goals as he could in this game. Matches between these two sides have been close, but Leeds are unbeaten in the last two head to heads.

Liverpool vs Norwich Match Preview

Liverpool will be eager to win the quadruple this season after they won the Carabao Cup at the weekend. The Reds will now target progress in the FA Cup when they host Norwich for this fixture and it promises to be an interesting clash. We expect Jurgen Klopp to ring the changes for this game and Adrian could be given a chance in goal, while the likes of Takumi Minamino could also play. Norwich is struggling to remain in the Premier League beyond this campaign and they might not put so much of an effort to win the FA Cup. That already gives Liverpool a very good advantage in the fixture and the Reds should take advantage of that. Jurgen Klopp’s men have probably forgotten how to lose matches as they head into this game on a 10 games winning run. Norwich, on the otherhand is struggling to win games and the Canaries have just a win in their last five matches. They have also lost all their last three games. Their record in games against Liverpool is also not something to look forward to as they have lost 9 and won none of their last 10 games against the Reds.

LASK vs Salzburg Match Preview

LASK  will host RB Salzburg in this Austrian Bundesliga game looking to get a positive result from their impressive visitors. Salzburg remains the biggest clubs in Austria and they are even impressing in the Champions League this season. They held  Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw in their latest UCL game and have continued to defeat almost all other Austrian clubs they face in the league. LASK is struggling this season and head into this game 8th on the league table. They have not lost any of their last two league matches, but they faced Salzburg recently in a cup game and lost 3-1. They could feel that defeat came away from home and they now know enough of their opponents to beat them in this league match. Salzburg would be confident about getting all the points from this game because they have a stunning record in this fixture with five wins from as many head to head clashes.

Everton vs Manchester City Match Preview

Everton faces the toughest test of the Frank Lampard era when Manchester City comes to town for this fixture. The Toffees have been inconsistent since the former midfielder became their boss and they would face a City side that needs to be ruthless. Tottenham beat Pep Guardiola’s side in their last league game to blow the title race wide open and Lampard can help Liverpool close the gap at the top. He played for Chelsea and now manages Everton, so he is the wrong person to help Liverpool, but his team needs a positive result more than the Reds do. Everton has lost two and won two of their competitive matches under Lampard, but they have lost two of their last three matches in the league. Before losing to Tottenham, City were on a splendid run of form and Pep Guardiola’s side is a well-oiled machine that can easily return to form. They would play under some kind of pressure in this game, but Everton would need to be at their brilliant best to stop the defending champions from winning.

Liverpool vs Leeds United Match Preview

Liverpool will look to close the gap between them and Manchester City to just three points when they face Leeds in this rescheduled game. The Reds were at one stage 12 points behind City, but they have now closed the gap on the defending champions. Jurgen Klopp’s men have been brought back into the title race after Tottenham thrashed  City 2-3 at the weekend to blow the race open. Liverpool added  Luis Diaz to their attack in the January transfer window and they now have one of the strongest squads in England. The Colombian has not needed time to get used to playing for them and he would be keen to ensure keeps doing well when selected. Leeds are struggling in this campaign and would still spend most of it battling to remain in the Premier League. Marcelo Bielsa’s side heads into this game with no win from their last four games and three of them have been losses. They also have a poor record against Liverpool with no wins from their last five head to heads. The Whites have also lost four of those fixtures.

Villarreal vs Juventus Match Preview

Villarreal will be aiming for an upsetting win when they face Juventus is this Champions League game. The Yellow Submarines won the Europa League last season and progress to this stage of the Champions League for the first time since 2009. Knowing they cannot fall back to the Europa League, they will want to make the most of this chance and Juve has been inconsistent. The Italians won their group and added Dusan Vlahovic to their squad in the last transfer window. However, they continue to struggle for consistency in this second half of the campaign and it could cost them a place in the next round of the Champions League. They have been eliminated from this stage by Lyon and FC Porto in the last two campaigns and Max Allegri will not want that trend to continue. However, he watched his team struggle and only picked up a draw against Torino at the weekend. That is not the best way to prepare for this game. Villarreal won their last competitive game 4-1 at Granada and will approach this match with a lot of confidence. This is the first competitive meeting between both clubs and it would be interesting to see who has the upper hand.
