Former Spurs coach tells Manchester United board the player they should have signed this summer

Former Tottenham Hotspur head coach Tim Sherwood insists Manchester United should have signed Arsenal superstar Declan Rice from West Ham United in the summer transfer window.

Speaking to the No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast, Sherwood said: “I’m not sure Daniel Levy would’ve wanted to sell him there [Harry Kane to Manchester United]. If they wanted to bid £150 million I’m not sure he would’ve cut his nose off to spite his face. He would’ve done the deal.

“I don’t think they were there, Rasmus Hojlund was the main target, and he likes players he’s worked with before. They need more than just Harry Kane.

“I thought they had a decent season last year, a progression season, if they went ‘come on Declan [Rice], we’re having you, and we’re going to have Harry Kane’ they would’ve challenged for the title, but I think they have more problems than that and I’m not 100% sure on the manager.”
