David Ginola has warned Manchester United that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane would cost £100m in the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils have been linked with a potential swoop to sign the Premier League’s leading goal-scorer over the past week.

Kane would be an ideal candidate to improve Jose Mourinho’s attack ahead of Manchester United’s return to the Champions League next season.

The England international scored 29 times in 30 games in the Premier League last season to help Tottenham finish in second place in the table.

The 23-year-old has netted 75 goals in 102 appearances in the past three Premier League campaign to underline his status as one of the Premier League’s best finishers.

Manchester United have been linked with a big-money move to sign Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata over the past couple of weeks with los Blancos reportedly demanding £80m.

And Tottenham legend Ginola has informed Manchester United that Kane would cost in the region of £100m in the summer transfer window.

“I think it would be similar (to Lukaku), in the same region of money for Kane,” Ginola told talkSPORT.

“Remember when Gareth Bale left Spurs to go to Real Madrid for £80m or £100m? Now you have a few players worth this kind of money.

“When you think about strikers who can score more than 20-25 goals in the league you need to put the money on the table for them.”

Manchester United finished in sixth place in the Premier League table last season but secured a return to the Champions League after winning the Europa League final.
