I really have no idea why the Harry Kane leaving Tottenham Hotspur to go join Manchester United transfer rumor just won’t go away. Although there are crazier and more nonsensical transfer rumors out there this window (but not many, as this one is a bit out there), it still doesn’t seem like a very likely scenario; at all.
And many high profile people have already shot this idea down several times.
-(Daily Mirror) Andy Cole believes Kane would struggle with the pressure of the leap from Tottenham to Manchester United.
-(Daily Express) Harry Kane must snub a move to United to keep developing at Tottenham, according to Fabrice Muamba.
Yet here we are discussing this narrative yet again. It must be a very slow news day all around, and I guess we all have pressure to hit our numbers. According to a story in The Guardian, “Tottenham remain adamant they will not sell Harry Kane this summer, despite the possibility of an offer from Manchester United before the end of the transfer window.”
#MUFC are told that #SPURS striker Harry Kane is not for sale.

Maybe today’s narratives will finally make this one go away. Probably not though.
