Harry Kane and Declan Rice are on Manchester United’s wanted list, as they are close to the appointment of coach Erik ten Hag.

Ajax coach is expected to beat Mauricio Pochettino in the race for the coach’s hot spot at Old Trafford, with confirmation coming in within days.

He has already made sure during the initial talks that he will be given support in the transfer market.

According to the Evening Standard, the United recruiting team is already identifying Kane and Rice as dream targets for their future manager.

Jude Bellingham is another England star who would like to be transferred from Borussia Dortmund, but it is unlikely he will be allowed to leave this summer.

Ten Hag moved ahead of Pochettino after being interviewed by United football director John Murtough and technical director Darren Fletcher in recent weeks.

The Dutchman was particularly impressed with his vision for the club. Sources insist there is no deal, but no obstacles are expected, with a compensation fee of just 2 million for Ajax.
