Haaland or Kane? Scholes picks who Man United should sign

Paul Scholes has given his verdict on who Manchester United should sign between Erling Haaland or Harry Kane.

Paul Scholes has admitted he would rather Manchester United go all out for Erling Haaland than Harry Kane this summer.

United will be in the hunt for a new striker this summer, with Edinson Cavani looking likely to depart Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Two players who will be high on United’s wishlist include Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland and Tottenham talisman Kane. However, both would prove rather expensive.

Asked on who he would opt for if he had the choice, United legend Scholes said the club should definitely go for Haaland. Although, Scholes did liken Kane to former Red Devils striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Speaking on Webby & O’Neill, Scholes argued: “I think the forwards they have are very good, but are any of them really a number nine, are they wide players? You just can’t make sense out of it, really.”

“When Cavani’s played, he’s looked alright, but he’s picked up a few injuries. He’s at that age, it was always going to happen, he was always going to be bit-part.”

“They need someone who is more permanent. I know Haaland is talked about a lot, he’s going to cost a lot of money. Harry Kane at Spurs, there’s rumours that he might want to leave there.”

“I think any one of them, you take any one of them, but I think if I had to choose, then Haaland would definitely be the one.”

“Purely for his age, his ability, the timing of his career, he’s played under Ole before. I think it would make sense for everyone to do it, but there’s going to be other clubs in for him, so it will be difficult.”

“I like Kane, I think he’s brilliant. When he first came onto the scene, I likened him to Ruud (van Nistelrooy), he’s a ruthless finisher, desperate to score goals. I just think at the stages of each one’s career, then you get more out of Haaland.”
