Man Utd fans say ‘that worked well last time’ as Harry Kane wage demands revealed giving even Ten Hag transfer concern
MANCHESTER UNITED fans have been left stunned after learning of Harry Kane's wage demands.
SunSport last night revealed that the Red Devils would have to pay the Tottenham captain £30million a year to entice him to Old Trafford.
This would equate to an eye-watering £577,000 a week - making Kane the highest paid player in the Premier League.
Man United's current top earner is Marcus Rashford, with the forward having recently signed a new £325k-a-week contract.
The Red Devils' previous top earner was David de Gea, who earned £375k a week - while Cristiano Ronaldo was believed to be on north of £500k.
Responding to Kane's demands, Man United fans weren't convinced that paying a player that much again is a good idea.

While a second wrote: "That's what we were paying Ronaldo, arguably one of the biggest footballing brands in the world… Kane is world class and I want him desperately but he's not Ronaldo."
A third commented: "He should not earn more than rashford."
And another added: "Not worth blowing up the team pay structure and possibly creating team division."
