Manchester United is making a serious play for Harry Kane, with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly driving efforts to bring the England captain back to the Premier League from Bayern Munich.
No formal deal has been agreed. Bayern Munich remains relaxed about Kane’s future, and the striker himself appears content in Germany. But United’s interest is real.
What we know about the Kane pursuit
Manchester United’s interest in Kane is not new. The club pursued him before his move from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich in 2023, a transfer that cost over £100 million. Renewed interest reportedly surfaced in May 2026, with speculation intensifying around the 2026 World Cup and whether Kane might seek a return to English football.
Kane, now 32, has tallied 81 goals in 115 caps for the England national team.
