Kane told to snub Manchester United and Man City transfer from Tottenham Hotspur

Harry Kane should remain at Tottenham Hotspur and keep fighting for the club he loves, amid reported interest from Manchester United and others.

That's the view of former Liverpool star John Barnes, who likened Kane's situation to Bryan Robson's decision to remain at United despite the Old Trafford club going through a fallow period at the time.

Man City and Juventus have also been linked with the Spurs talisman, who has been out injured for much of this season but has been linked with a shock summer departure.

But Barnes, speaking exclusively to BonusCodeBets.co.uk, thinks Kane is better off staying at Spurs, despite the north London club's struggles this season under Mauricio Pochettino and then Jose Mourinho.

“Harry Kane should not look to leave Tottenham if he loves Spurs and is a fan of the club," said the former England international.

"If all players wanted to leave their club to win a trophy, all the players would go to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City or a Liverpool, and you’ll never have anyone playing anywhere else.

"You know you're a Tottenham fan, you want to play for Tottenham so stay at Tottenham to try and help them win. 

"Very similar with Bryan Robson at Manchester United.

"United and England captain at the time, whilst United were not doing well, he could have easily left. He thought I'm going to stay at Manchester United and help them to win.”

The decision to postpone the European Championship until the summer of 2021, amid the current coronavirus crisis, is likely to benefit Kane who has been out for some time with a hamstring injury. The Tottenham striker could return when the season is resumed, with the Premier League set to make a decision on when the play its remaining fixtures soon.
