Former Manchester United player Paul Ince has spoken about the clubs potential summer transfers in order to create a dream attack, but cannot see it becoming a reality.
Paul Ince Hopes for Two Marquee Arrivals at Manchester United
The Players in Question
Ince’s dream front line for the Red Devils would consist of all English Marcus Rashford, Harry Kane, and Jadon Sancho.
Rashford was having the best season of his career before an injury put him on the sidelines for a number of months. The 22-year-old will hope to continue this when the Premier League resumes, the suspension of football having come at a favourable time for his recovery, still in with a chance at winning the golden boot.
Heavily linked with United this campaign, Sancho could be heading to Old Trafford this summer. The Englishman has had a fantastic campaign in the Bundesliga, with 29 direct goal involvements, and would be a perfect addition to this United side struggling to find a world-class right-winger.
Kane is another top-quality player linked with the Red Devils who would add to the excellence of this proposed front line. While he is an incredible goal scorer, he does not fit with the fast nature of United’s counter-attacking style of play, and although Ince believes Kane will be on the move this summer, the retired midfielder does not think the Theatre of Dreams will be his destination.
Ince’s Words
As reported by the Daily Mail, Ince recently spoke on the possibility of bringing the pair to Manchester.
‘I cannot see Harry Kane to Manchester United happening. I can see him going, yes, and wanting to leave Tottenham, but not to join United.
‘What people are forgetting is that United have got Marcus Rashford up front. He’s always wanted to play up front, but what you need to remember is he can also play off the left-hand side, as we’ve seen from plenty of his goals this season.
‘Plus, between him and Anthony Martial, Kane coming in would also bring some competition to the side. There’s always been a sense of competition at United, and it would be nice to see that back again, players fighting for their places.
‘So you’re looking at Rashford left, Kane centre and Jadon Sancho on the right. It sounds pretty nice, doesn’t it?
‘But it probably sounds like a dream for a reason, it is a dream.’
Ince, who won two Premier League titles with United, added: ‘Don’t get me wrong, if, and it’s a big if, United can get Kane, and he fancies the move, surely you’re going to go for him. You’d be absolutely daft not to.
‘If you can get him, then you have to go and get him, but I can’t see it being the case.
‘Spurs fans won’t like to hear me say this either, but sometimes as a player you simply need a new challenge. Whether that’s at Old Trafford, or in my opinion, more likely abroad, who knows?
‘However if he’s on the market then if you’ve got to at least have a go at getting him, if you’re United.
‘You’re talking a completely complete, proven player. He’s only going to get better and better. He’s a guarantee.’
