Manchester United great Roy Keane is convinced Harry Kane wants to move to Old Trafford.

Kane presided over another listless Tottenham performance on Sunday when Spurs lost 3-1 at home to United, leaving them seventh in the Premier League and six points off the Champions League places.

As speculation is rife about whether Kane will seek medals elsewhere at the end of the season, Keane suggested his former club was a likely destination.

"If you're going to leave Spurs, surely you'd pick somewhere where you're guaranteed trophies," he said.

"And because Man United are still in that rebuilding stage, it might be three or four years before (a trophy comes). If I'm Kane, and the form that I'm in - 19 goals, 13 assists, ridiculous - I'd be going to the team that's going to get the most trophies."

Keane countered that United are closing the gap on City, and Kane in the team would be a "huge step" to winning trophies again.

"No doubt Man City are obviously going to buy as well, of course," he added. "But maybe Kane doesn't want to go abroad, maybe he likes playing in England. He knows the league inside out and Man United are still a huge, huge pull."
