18.03.2022 - 23:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Harry Kane has been told he could play a similar role to Wayne Rooney if he makes a move to Manchester United this summer.
The Tottenham striker has been linked with a switch to Old Trafford at the end of the season, a year on from his failed transfer to Manchester City. United will be on the lookout for a new frontman, with interim manager Ralf Rangnick indicating it will be one of their main priorities.
Having made a slow start to the campaign, Kane looks to have rediscovered some his best form in recent weeks. The 28-year-old has 12 Premier League goals to his name this season including seven in his last six league appearances.

The England captain has adapted his game in recent years, regularly dropping deeper in order to set Tottenham away on the counterattacks. Despite playing as a conventional striker, he claimed 14 assists last term to claim the Playmaker of the Season award.
And former City defender Joleon Lescott believes Kane has shown a glimpse into his future. Having been linked with a move to Old Trafford, Lescott has claimed Kane could follow in the footsteps of United great Rooney.
"Strikers with his level of finishing ability are judged on their goal return and that starts with taking up the correct positions," Lescott told LiveScore. " Cristiano Ronaldo is a prime example of someone who adapted their game to be an out-and-out goalscorer - but I actually think Kane may end up moving backwards with time.
"He's never been a forward reliant on having the highest leap or the quickest sprint. His intelligence, vision and movement are some of his strongest traits. It makes me think he could end up moving into an attacking midfield role
