Harry Kane to Manchester United "perfect signing", says Gary Neville

Manchester United legend, Gary Neville, has said that signing Harry Kane over to Old Trafford would be perfect.

This is coming as rumours linking the Tottenham star to United keep growing.

The fire was sparked more over the weekend when Jamie Redknapp revealed that he believes Kane could "explore other avenues" if Spurs fail to progress.

Although Spurs have no intention of selling Kane to Manchester United, Neville believe the England international would git with his former club's history.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Gary also let out that the England captain is typical of the Manchester United, who often chase homegrown stars.

"Any club in the Premier League would want Harry Kane. There are some signings that are like gold, where you just know they are going to work. Harry Kane is unbreakable in the sense of his mentality. He'll always score goals, will always give 100 per cent in training, and is completely reliable as a manager would want.

"For Manchester United, it would be a perfect signing in terms of what they need," he explained. "They had Bruno Fernandes come in and he's done a great job, Harry Maguire at the back. If they can get someone like Kane up front, you're looking at a fantastic spine."

He added: "It fits Manchester United's historical transfers, going back to Brian Robson, Roy Keane, trying to sign Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney.

"They were the best or most famous English, British or Irish players in the Premier League and Manchester United tried to sign that player so it does fit with that. Just look at what Manchester United did last summer with Harry Maguire, who was one of the best players on the mark.

"In terms of Kane, I did work with him for England. He's a clever lad and he's not somebody who would get caught out if he didn't want to say something. The little opening if the door that he left in that Instagram piece with Jamie was probably something that had something in it.

"I also don't think Kane would have been that impressed with his club a couple of weeks ago with what they did [using the Government's Job Retention Scheme and furloughing staff]. Kane is a good lad, a solid lad and he wouldn't have taken that particularly well and he's probably just poking them back. In my mind, I think he would have been warning them and saying 'just be careful because I'm watching you and it's not something that we do'."
