Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes has told the club to make signing Harry Kane a priority ahead of Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho.

Rumours of an alleged personal agreement between United and Sancho have been marred by reports of the club's unwilling to meet Dortmund's valuation of around 100 million pounds for the 20-year-old.

England captain Kane signed a six-year contract extension with Spurs in 2018 but said in March he could leave if they do not progress in the right direction.

"Don't get me wrong, Sancho is a top-quality footballer, I think he would improve any team in world football," Scholes, who won 11 Premier League titles with United, told BT Sport.

"His stats say that he is a goalscorer, he will make and score lots of goals. I just think we already have three forwards or wide men that are very similar to Sancho, possibly not quite as good as him, but potentially I think they could be."

Scholes said Kane is the out-and-out goalscorer United need right now.

"I think if that is Harry Kane you are talking about, I would be more desperate to sign him than Sancho at this stage," he added.

"I just think United need a centre forward, a real No.9, a real goalscorer, and Kane would be that man for me." [Euro Sports]
