Manchester United have taken their bid for Tottenham’s star Harry Kane seriously by finally approaching the club for their top striker.

The Red Devils have been on the lookout for a prolific replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo since his ungraceful exit from the club in October.

The Old Trafford side are, however, aware that Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy could not be a tough nut in having the deal pull through, according to The Telegraph.

Kane has one year left on his Spurs contract and it is understood that he is unlikely to renew considering Tottenham’s ill-luck over the past seasons.

Over the weekend, the club suffered a 6-1 defeat to Newcastle which more than complicated their chances to qualify for the Champions League next season.
