RUMORS: Man Utd ready to move for Kane image

Manchester United is ready to move for Harry Kane amid the striker's contract standoff at Tottenham, according to the Daily Mirror.

The 23-year-old is under contact at White Hart Lane until 2020, having penned fresh terms in February 2015, but reportedly is now looking to double his salary of 60,000 pounds ($74,000) a week.

The report claims Kane wants to earn similar to England teammates Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge, who receive weekly salaries of £120,000 and £130,000, respectively.

But Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is reluctant to break the club's strict wage structure and sanction a six-figure salary with discussions now being delayed until the end of the season.

Jose Mourinho is a fan of Kane and sees him as a long-term successor to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is currently set to leave Old Trafford in the summer but has the option to extend for an additional year.
