Manchester United could sign Harry Kane for £200 million this summer, with chairman Daniel Levy ready to sell his star man to stave off financial worries.
Spurs have come under fire during the Covid-19 pandemic for furloughing non playing staff and, unlike Liverpool, haven't reversed their decision despite the fierce criticism.
With the club still owing £637 million on their stadium and a further £83 million on outstanding transfer fees the club are ready to sell Kane.

According to the Mail on Sunday, the chairman is ready to accept a world record fee of £200 million for the striker, with Manchester United the most likely to target the England captain.
The report claims that Kane's off brand message to cancel the rest of the season has infuriated the chairman, adding to Levy's acceptance to sell the team's star man.
Whilst Spurs need the season to continue, in order to claim the rest of the television money that they'll receive if their final games go ahead, Kane said in an Instagram Live with Jamie Redknapp that he would want the season to be cancelled if it can't be completed by the beginning of July.

On the same live Kane was also asked about his future in north London and he admitted that the club's progress was key to whether he stayed or not, confirming his ambition to win titles.
United have long been linked with move for the 26-year-old, with a £40 million move to Old Trafford in 2015 being mooted after his first full season in the first team ended with him scoring 21 Premier League goals.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has started building a squad that he wants at Old Trafford and has often looked towards youth, not signing a striker at the beginning of the season despite only having Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and teenager Mason Greenwood to call on.

The Red Devils added Odion Ighalo in January on loan but a big money move for Kane could entice Ed Woodward to really splash the cash as they try to get back to the top of the league.
United don't have a good history of dealing with Levy having had difficult negotiations for both Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov in the past, though they did make a late bid for Gareth Bale when the Welshman left for Real Madrid in 2013.
