Dion Dublin tells Manchester United to sign Harry Kane: ‘If you want him, go get him’

Former Manchester United and England striker Dion Dublin believes his old club should stop talking about signing Harry Kane and make a move for the Bayern Munich superstar, arguing that the England captain would improve any Premier League side.

Speaking to BetVictor , Dublin praised Kane's intelligent movement, positional awareness, and extraordinary goalscoring record, insisting that United should be willing to pay whatever it takes to bring him to Old Trafford.

"Harry Kane's contract? Get him down to Cambridge United, we'll have him! Even at 33, 34, 35, I'd still nick Harry for a year or two because he just finds his way into good positions. You put the ball there and he doesn't even have to run about as much," Dublin said. "You can see he's dropping into the number 10 role a bit more, sometimes even into the four, and spraying balls about so he's not easy to mark. Two centre-halves don't know where he is, and then he crops up.

"He's a very clever footballer. I would take Harry Kane right now at Man Utd. There's a bit of a statement in this, Harry Kane could start in any Premier League side. Any Premier League side, it doesn't matter. Every club in the Premier League would take him right now, 100%. United have toyed with it, they've spoken about it too much. If you want him, go get him. Even if he signs a new deal there, give them the 70 or 80 million, whatever they want, because you've got to get goals.

"Why are you buying Harry Kane? To score your goals. Who can you guarantee for goals? Haaland, Kane, Lewandowski, Mbappe, and then you start to struggle a bit for guaranteed scorers. Harry Kane guarantees you goals."

Dublin's argument is straightforward: Manchester United need a reliable goalscorer, and few players in world football offer the consistency Kane brings. The Bayern striker has also developed into much more than a traditional No. 9, using his ability to drop deep, create chances, and dictate play to make himself difficult to defend against.

For United, the question is whether they would be willing to invest heavily in a player approaching the latter stages of his career. Dublin clearly believes the answer should be yes, arguing that Kane's proven quality makes the potential investment worthwhile. With Bayern Munich benefiting from his remarkable output, United fans might wonder what their attack could look like with a striker who makes scoring goals look so routine.

However, a move to Manchester United appears unlikely, with Kane reportedly on course to sign a new contract with Bayern Munich. The England captain has established himself as a key figure in Vincent Kompany's side, and Bayern have every incentive to keep one of the world's most prolific strikers in Munich. Dublin may believe United should do whatever it takes to bring Kane to Old Trafford, but unless the situation changes significantly, the Premier League giants could be left watching as Kane continues his goalscoring exploits in Germany.
