Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham Hotspur player, Darren Bent, has backed Manchester United to sign striker Harry Kane.<\/p>\n

Bent feels the move \u2018makes sense\u2019 for both Man United and Kane, adding that the Red Devils need a centre-forward like the England international.<\/p>\n

Kane, who has scored 259 goals across 403 games for Tottenham, was widely linked with a move to Manchester City before Spurs blocked the move and Pep Guardiola\u2019s side instead opted to sign Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

His current contract with Tottenham will expire in 2024, but Bent feels Man United would be perfect for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere does he go? That City [opportunity has] gone,\u201d Bent told talkSPORT.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Manchester] United would be perfect, they need a centre-forward. So that makes sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty clear last season that he wanted to leave,\u201d Bent continued. \u201cMan City were the ones pressing the issue. Clearly they never came up with enough money, and it\u2019s believed they bid \u00a3140m but didn\u2019t get him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey clearly believed that he was worth it, but Spurs thought he was worth more. Spurs are a club where if you don\u2019t hit the price they want, you are not going anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still think [he would cost] around \u00a3100m. There is no way Daniel Levy will let him walk out for \u00a360m.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could have two weeks left on his contract. Daniel Levy will still want \u00a3100m.\u201d<\/p>\n
