Roy Keane discusses whether Manchester United should target Harry Kane or Erling Haaland during the summer transfer window "If Kane goes somewhere other than City, it will certainly make things more interesting." "If you were to flip the question around and ask whether the title race would be over if Kane joined City, you would probably conclude that the gap to the current champions would become so big. Kane would be a great fit for United, when you think of the pace out wide and the potential signing of Jadon Sancho, they would have great options.

I’m pleased to see Mitro in a good mood, but also working hard as well.”
“His team-mates are helping him and we have to keep the momentum. “It was fantastic work from the team, the way we won the ball for the first two goals.
