Paul Merson: Harry Kane would have joined Manchester United

Popular football pundit, Paul Merson, has suggested that Manchester United have made a mistake by not signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Red Devils made a stunning move towards the end of the transfer window by bringing back their former player Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford from Juventus.

While the 36-year-old Portuguese still remains a top-class player, Merson feels he won’t be as effective as he was during his prime years at Old Trafford.

Merson is doubtful whether Ronaldo can inspire United into winning the league title, and feels the Red Devils should have gone after Kane instead.
