Derby County player-coach Wayne Rooney says Manchester United should move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane.
While Rooney believes a deal for Kane will be difficult for United, the Derby County star claims the Red Devils will benefit much more from a tactical viewpoint with Kane in their side - rather than Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho.
Speaking in his Times column ahead of United's match with Spurs, Rooney said: "Jadon Sancho is a top player, but I find it odd that he has been Manchester United's transfer priority. Why consider paying close to £100million for someone similar to talent you've got already?
"United have Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial and where would Sancho's arrival leave Mason Greenwood, who plays in the same position and is of similar age? I'd rather put that £100million towards trying to get Harry Kane.
"Yes, getting Kane out of Tottenham would be difficult, maybe impossible, but United are a club who should always make an effort to sign the very best players and Kane is exactly what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs, as is Erling Haaland, who United missed out on last year — a genuine No 9."
