United have been in touch with Kane’s camp through a third party and have been encouraged by the response.
Kane turns 30 in July – and has achieved his ambition to become Spurs’ all-time top scorer.
While United were hammered 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday, there’s still a belief Kane has a better chance of finally lifting a trophy at Old Trafford than at Tottenham.
The England captain’s £200,000-a-week deal has risen at the end of next season and the Champions League are failing to put suitors in a better position to negotiate a lower fee.
Kane said in January that a new deal “hasn’t been talked about much with Spurs” but he was “sure there will be talks in the coming months”.

They have since signed Erling Haaland and the Norwegian has 27 prem goals in the Golden Boot race.
Kane has 18, with United’s Marcus Rashford on 14.
