Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes that Manchester United should sign Harry Kane over Victor Osimhen, two strikers who have been heavily linked to the team.

Right now, Osimhen and Kane are two of the world’s best strikers. They have both had great seasons with Tottenham and Napoli, respectively.

Even though the England captain’s skills are well-known, Osimhen has really come into his own this season, scoring 23 goals and five assists in just 28 games to propel Napoli to the top of Serie A and the Champions League for the first time in their history. Osimhen scored twice in Napoli’s 3-0 (5-0 on aggregate) win over Frankfurt on Wednesday night.

Henry has now offered his opinion on the matter of which one would be more suited to Erik ten Hag’s strategies, which has sparked much speculation and debate.

The legendary forward stated to CBS Sports: “Personally, if I’m Man United I go Kane because he knows the Premier League.”

“Looking at Kane, this guy doesn’t need to adapt to anything. He has a way of dropping deep that would allow Marcus Rashford to run in behind.

“Kane can play anywhere, he can adapt to any team – well except Arsenal!

“That doesn’t mean Osimhen is not a good player, it has nothing to do with that. I think he’s going to go wherever he wants to go. He can adapt to a lot of sides and any league.

“When you play for a team like Napoli, everything comes to him. But it’s a different ball game when you play in a front three. Balls are not always going to you at big club with three big guys up top.

“That’s what I want to see: How he reacts when he’s not the only focal point. But other than that he has everything. He can hold the ball up well, he can run into the channel, he can finish well with his head, with his foot.”

According to reports from talkSPORT, there appears to be a significant division within the Manchester United dressing room due to Erik ten Hag’s handling of Jadon Sancho.

Some players are said to be at odds with the manager’s decision to exile the winger, who has reportedly been reluctant to offer an apology.

Moreover, there’s a growing sense of fatigue among certain squad members regarding Ten Hag’s consistent criticism when they fail to meet his expectations.

In addition to this, some players have voiced concerns that Ten Hag may have favorites within the team, as they observe that certain individuals receive less criticism compared to others.

The recent string of three consecutive losses has only exacerbated these issues, casting doubts on the manager’s tactics and his approach to making substitutions.

These off-field challenges pose a significant hurdle as Manchester United prepares for an upcoming Premier League clash against Burnley.

According to a report from The Guardian, as cited by Football365, David De Gea is moving closer to the possibility of retiring from professional football following his departure from Manchester United as a free agent this summer.

Notably, De Gea’s decision is not driven by financial concerns, as he has already turned down several lucrative offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia. Instead, the Spanish goalkeeper’s primary preference is to secure a role as the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper at a prominent European club.

If De Gea fails to find a suitable club that meets his aspirations, he is contemplating the idea of ending his career in football.

The report also highlights that De Gea continues to harbor feelings of disappointment regarding the circumstances of his departure from Manchester United.
