Man United planning to swoop three English players: Kane, Mount, and Rice

The Red Devils have come short in certain areas this season and it has affected them, especially in the league, so much so that they had to wait until the last two matches of the season to confirm whether they’ll finish in the top four or not.

After Manchester United confirmed Champions League qualification, all focus is now turned to strengthening their squad for next season as soon as the summer transfer window opens in July.

The club is looking to reinforce their attack and midfield and the players to do that are Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, Chelsea’s Mason Mount and West Ham captain Declan Rice.

According to reports, Harry Kane’s exit from Tottenham is closer than ever as he searches for silverware elsewhere. Kane, who is turning 30 in July this year has scored more than 270 goals for Tottenham in all competitions but has no silverware to show for it.

It is widely believed that he would love to leave the club after this season and Manchester United would welcome him with open arms. There were reports of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid showing interest in the England captain but since he hinted at wanting to break Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League goals record, Manchester United become favourites.

Manchester United will battle with Arsenal and to some extent Liverpool for Mason Mount’s signature should he leave Chelsea in the summer. Mount has been at Chelsea since he was seven but it is becoming increasingly imminent that he could leave at the end of the season.

Talks over a new contract have stalled for months as the player feels he deserves a pay rise, more than what Chelsea are proposing. Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing him but reports suggest that the player is currently leaning towards Manchester United. Chelsea’s valuation of Mount is £70 million. 

As with Mount, Manchester United will also battle hard with especially Arsenal to sign Declan Rice. Arsenal have been heavily linked with Rice in the past few months and are even ready to break their transfer record for him.

We understand that West Ham are ready to let him go and value him upwards of £120 million. If Arsenal fails to match that valuation, then Manchester United could win him over.
