According to The Times, Manchester United are prepared to offer Jesse Lingard in a possible deal for Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane.
Kane is believed to have told Spurs he wants to leave the club this summer, and teams are lining up to sign him.
The report claims that Kane wants to join Manchester City, apparently believing that Pep Guardiola is the right man for him.

Kane’s reps believe the £ 150 million asking price is too high, and United apparently has a plan to lower it, offering Lingard as a compensatory weight.
United is ‘wary’ of negotiating with Daniel Levy, but apparently hoping that hanging the carrot out of a deal for Lingard will facilitate talks.
The 28-year-old Lingard has been on loan to West Ham in 2021 and has scored nine goals and three assists in 14 games.
Lingard’s offer to Spurs now looks much more attractive than it would have been a year ago, but it still seems unlikely that Levy would be happy to discuss Kane’s departure just because a player who turns 29 in December is included in the list. offer.

West Ham, of course, would be destroyed; They would love to keep Lingard long term having seen him thrive under David Moyes, even being branded a ‘total player’ by Gianfranco Zola.
Not being able to bring him back would hurt enough, but seeing him join his rivals Spurs? It would be a bitter pill to swallow.
Even if Lingard is included in the deal, Spurs would still be looking for at least £ 125 million, so surely United still have a long way to go before they can even think of making a deal.
