Manchester United Ready to Sign Second Robin van Persie
Who should replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on a permanent basis? And all signs lead to Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique, and Erik ten Hag as the candidates. If the current PSG manager is appointed, he may be able to sign Harry Kane and mold him into the club’s next Robin van Persie.
Regardless of who is in charge, Manchester United will recruit a new forward this summer.
On Friday, interim manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed this, saying the club would want to sign a younger version of Edinson Cavani.
Cavani is anticipated to leave United at the end of the season in the summer. He planned to depart a year ago, but after a solid finish to the season, he ended up renewing his contract.
If Pochettino is hired by United, it’s likely that the Argentine will want a reunion with Kane.
For many years, Kane has been a world-class player. Since Pochettino’s departure, he’s performed admirably under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
Yet, when he was at his happiest, he was with the Argentine.
