MANCHESTER UNITED legend Teddy Sheringham believes that Tottenham star Harry Kane is the missing piece to the Red Devils' Premier League title challenge.
Speaking to Lord Ping, he said: "If Kane were to join United, then of course it would make them a better team and would bridge that gap between where they are at the moment and competing for the Premier League title next season.
Elsewhere, Roma playmaker Paulo Dybala has been offered to Man Utd in a cut-price deal.
Elsewhere, bids to take over the club are being looked at by the Glazer family, after Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim's groups submitted their third wave of offers.

Levy must respect Kane's wishes
Teddy Sheringham has called for Spurs chief Daniel Levy to respect the wishes of Harry Kane this summer if he wants to leave and join Man Utd.
Levy has previously rejected offers for their talisman, but Sheringham thinks if the player wants to go, then he has to cash-in.
Speaking to Lord Ping, Sheringham said: "After the service that he's given Tottenham, Levy should give him the respect and the freedom to make his own decision.
"If during that conversation Harry says that he wants to leave in the summer, then Daniel must grant him that wish and get as much money as he can for him.
"Daniel needs to have the conversation with Harry and get everything out in the open.
"Harry will have his own questions and he will want to know who is coming in to manage the club, what the budget will be – these conversations happening between a club’s top player and a club chairman are not unusual."

Kane is Man Utd's missing piece
Teddy Sheringham believes that if Man Utd sign Harry Kane they could compete to win the Premier League next season.
Speaking to Lord Ping, he said: "If Kane were to join United, then of course it would make them a better team and would bridge that gap between where they are at the moment and competing for the Premier League title next season.
"United are close – they’ve already won the League Cup this season and have a place in the FA Cup Final to look forward to.
"If you add Kane to that team, suddenly it starts to look like a different animal."

Sheringham makes Kane comparison
Ex-United striker Teddy Sheringham has compared Harry Kane's situation to his own.
He left Spurs for the Red Devils in 1992 and helped the club win the treble in 1999.
Speaking to Lord Ping, he said Kane may have to follow in his footsteps: "I joined United because I felt that Tottenham were not going to allow me to compete for trophies.
"I didn’t think the club were going to bring in the players that would have enabled us to challenge for the biggest prizes.
"Harry has got to look at the situation at the club and ask himself the same questions that I did.
"If he doesn’t think that the club are going to be able to bring in players that would see them competing, then I don’t think there’s a single Tottenham fan that would begrudge him the opportunity to win trophies with another club."

Dybala offered to United
Roma star Paulo Dybala has been offered to Man Utd in a cut-price deal.
When the attacker signed for Jose Mourinho's side for free prior to the start of this season, a number of releases clauses were reportedly agreed to become active after one year.
90min claim a fee of £10.5m is enough for a non-Serie A club to bid for him, while Italian sides will have to pay £17.5m.
The likes of Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Tottenham have been informed of his availability.
Despite the cheap fee, Dybala is likely to demand high wages and he has to want the transfer himself.

United keen on new keeper
While the future of Dean Henderson is unclear and David De Gea is expected to pen a contract, United are on the lookout for a new keeper.
The Mail claim the club sent a scout to watch Swede Leopold Wahlstedt, who plays for Norwegian side Odds BK.
Meanwhile, they also have an interest in Dinamo Zagreb and Croatia World Cup hero Dominik Livakovic.
Both would be back-ups to De Gea.
Inter Milan's Andre Onana is also on the list but he would be more expensive and Chelsea are keen.

Henderson future in doubt
Dean Henderson faces an uncertain future after being told he faces an additional three months on the sidelines.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper left Manchester United at the start of the season in order to join Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan.
The England international suffered a thigh injury back in January for the Premier League strugglers which would later rule him out of the rest of the campaign.
Now MEN are reporting that Henderson requires an operation on the thigh tear that is now expected to keep him out until August. He is expected to be back for pre-season.
He could be sold by United this summer after his comments on not being United's No1 and with Erik ten Hag keen on bringing in a new stopper this summer.

Ratcliffe's transfer demands
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to demand full control of transfers from the moment a deal is agreed, report The Telegraph.
The Ineos owner's wishes are unlikely to be accepted by the Glazers until the deal goes through but it shows his hands-on approach to running the club.
It reportedly appears likely that the Glazers would lower their stake to a minority share if Ratcliffe buys United.
He wants to deal with player transfer while Qatari rival Sheikh Jassim is more interested in delegating that role and overseeing the wider state of the club.
