The Red Devils sacked Erik ten Hag after a terrible start to the new Premier League season with the Dutchman leading them to just three wins in their opening nine matches.
Ruud van Nistelrooy put four more points on the board in the two Premier League matches since Ten Hag's departure by beating Leicester City and drawing with Chelsea.
Man Utd moved quickly to bring in Ten Hag's permanent successor in Ruben Amorim with the Portuguese coach arriving in Manchester yesterday after winning his final match as Sporting Lisbon manager 4-2 against Braga over the weekend.
And there are already plenty of rumours about which players could arrive in the next couple of transfer windows as the Red Devils look to give Amorim some support.
There are some doubts as to whether Amorim has the right players to suit his 3-4-3 formation, which he preferred to play at Sporting, while there are serious questions about the strikers at Man Utd.
The Red Devils spent a lot of money to bring Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee to Old Trafford but the Man Utd duo, although still early days, have so far failed to live up to their exciting reputations.
And now reports in Spain claim both Man Utd and Paris Saint-Germain have made an 'offer' worth 130m euro (£107m) - which would be a record-breaking deal for the Red Devils - to sign former Tottenham striker Kane.
Kane has been in sensational form since swapping Spurs for Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 with the England captain bagging 61 goals in 61 matches for the Bavarians.
But 'his adventure at the Allianz Arena could be really short' as Man Utd and PSG 'already have around 130 million euros ready to ensure that the former Norwich City or Leicester City player ends up leaving Germany' next summer.
While PSG are looking for a goalscorer to replace Kylian Mbappe, new Man Utd boss Amorim has 'ordered the purchase of a footballer who can lead the project'.
Amorim wants to replace 'two resounding failures' in Zirkzee and Hojlund after Ten Hag was 'convinced' the pair were 'very interesting footballers'.
