Manchester United should steer clear of the race for “flitty” Kylian Mbappe and instead “pay over the odds” for Harry Kane, says Teddy Sheringham
The Red Devils opted against bringing in another proven goalscorer during the summer of 2022 despite seeing Edinson Cavani leave as a free agent and Cristiano Ronaldo make a serious push for the exits. The expectation is that more firepower will be sought in 2023, with questions once again being asked of Mbappe’s future at Paris Saint-Germain and how long England captain Kane will be sticking around at Tottenham.
Ex-United striker Sheringham has told Genting Casino of the approach that he would take to recruitment: “I don’t think Mbappe is what United need. They already have ‘flitty’ players if i can call them that and need focused and determined players like Kane and [Declan] Rice. They may not be the most flair players but they do the right things at the right time. Mbappe is a wonderful player but I don’t know if you need another flair player like [Marcus] Rashford, Ronaldo and Antony.”
