Manchester United have the perfect Harry Kane alternative lined-up

According to the latest reports, Manchester United have lined-up this perfect and much cheaper alternative to sign in the summer instead of Harry Kane.

Manchester United have been on a relentless pursuit since the summer. An unceasing and perpetual race to find the perfect striker.

For years the Stretford End had always had their very own forward hero to adore. From the likes of Best to Yorke, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer himself was a cult hero at the club as a player. The Norwegian forward spent over a decade with the Red Devils and contributed to some of the most iconic goals in United history.

Including the dramatic late winner against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in 1999. Solskjaer’s toe poke secured a famous treble for United and the Norwegian ingrained himself into the club’s folklore for eternity.

Yet ironically, since the departure of Romelu Lukaku in the summer, Solskjaer has been without a proper out and out forward at the club.

In January, the Norwegian came narrowly close to bringing teenage sensation and his fellow compatriot Erling Braut Haland. However the bulky goal-machine opted to sign for Borussia Dortmund in a major blow for the Red Devils.

Recently United have been linked with the prolific talents of England captain Harry Kane, however the steep price demanded by Tottenham for his services might deter Solskjaer and co.

But Harry Kane is not the only forward the club have been linked with.

The Red Devils have also been linked with a move for Wolverhampton and Mexico forward Raul Jimenez. Who could be a much cheaper alternative.

The striker has been in outstanding form this season and has already netted 22 times in all competitions.

His pace, power and ability to shrug defenders off with ease makes him a nuisance to play against.

And the Mexican has given United great hope in their pursuit of him.

Speaking to Spanish newspaper Marca via Birmingham Live, Raul Jimenez revealed that there is ‘no release clause’ in his contract.

That could make Raul Jimenez a bargain and with his supreme talents, the Stretford End could have yet another forward star to adore.

Would you be happy with the arrival of Raul Jimenez?
