Agent Wazza! Harry Kane being 'held as a prisoner' by Tottenham & would be 'ideal' for Man Utd, says Wayne Rooney

  • Rooney says Kane is 'prisoner' at Spurs
  • Striker linked to clubs at home and abroad
  • Has year left on current deal

WHAT HAPPENED? In an interview with The Athletic, Rooney jokingly stated that Kane was being held captive by Tottenham, but believes the England striker would be an ideal signing for his old club United this summer.

WHAT THEY SAID: “I thought it was time to go last season and he stayed,” Rooney said. “Harry’s probably feeling that and knows there are trophies out there for him to win. He has done everything he can for that to try and be at Tottenham. Now probably is right for him to move on and it looks like he’s ready for that as well, but we know Tottenham can be quite difficult at times.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: This summer, like every other summer of late, speculation is rife that Kane will leave Tottenham. He's been linked with moves to United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich since the 2022-23 season ended.
