Former Manchester United forward Dion Dublin has urged his old club to sign Bayern Munich star Harry Kane to return to the top.
The Red Devils currently have Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee as specialist striker options. However, Michael Carrick has shown reluctance to start the former RB Leipzig forward consistently.
On the other hand, the Dutchman has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League since joining from Bologna a couple of years ago. Carrick has used Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo as a false 9 in recent months.
Now, during a recent interview (via TEAMtalk), Dublin claims that Sesko doesn’t have the qualities to score 30 goals a season. So, United need to upgrade the No.9 position to return to the top, and Kane would be a perfect acquisition.
The former striker states that although Kane has already turned 33, he can still perform at the highest level for a few more years. He isn’t a quick player but is a powerful runner, has vast knowledge of the game, and is familiar with the Premier League’s physicality, having previously showcased his productivity for Tottenham Hotspur.

“So where are you going to find the kind of striker that United need? It’s still Harry Kane. He’s still only 33 but he’s not a player who needs pace. He’s never been quick, but he is a powerful runner into space and the knowledge he has of the game, where to be, how to use his body, and his knowledge of the Premier League too, he is still the perfect striker for Manchester United, even now.
“Would he leave Bayern Munich or not? Who knows. It would take a lot of money but if you asked me right now to name one centre-forward to take United back to the top, right now the only player who is the complete package you can hang your hat on is Harry Kane.”
Kane has entered the final 12 months of his current contract and is valued at around £51m by Transfermarkt. So, Bayern might be open to cashing-in on him in January to avoid losing him for free if they fail to agree on a fresh term with him.
The Englishman has enjoyed great success at the Allianz Arena in recent years, winning two Bundesliga titles and a…
