Former Manchester United player Louis Saha stated that the club missed a crucial opportunity by not signing Harry Kane in 2023. Saha believes that Kane, now playing for Bayern Munich, would have enhanced United's chances of winning titles, citing his impressive goal tally of 72 goals, which could increase to 85 when including assists. At the same time, United opted for Rasmus Højlund for €79 million, who has since returned to Italy with Napoli. Saha expressed that United should have been willing to pay whatever was necessary for Kane, asserting it was a significant error in judgment.
