Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke disagree on Manchester United's best striker option this summer

However, that goes against what his former strike partner, Andy Cole, believes. Cole feels United should prioritise signing Osimhen over Kane owing to the Napoli frontman's age.
Speaking earlier this year, Cole said: "Kane is 30 years
