Man Utd transfer blow as Kane told ‘you never turn down Real Madrid’ in tactic that rarely fails for Spanish giants
MANCHESTER UNITED have suffered a potential blow in the race to sign Harry Kane after Sergio Ramos told the star: “You don’t turn down Real Madrid.”
The LaLiga giants waved goodbye to Karim Benzema this week after 14 years of service.

The Frenchman, who is set to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, leaves a huge gap at Santiago Bernabeu – which club chiefs hope to fill with Kane.
The Tottenham striker, who is out of contract next summer, is Real Madrid‘s first choice target to replace Benzema.
Speculation claims that initial contact has been made between Carlo Ancelotti’s side and Spurs, as well as the England captain’s entourage.
Real will also reportedly keep the No9 shirt vacant in the hope that Kane will soon fill it.
That news is a bitter blow to United and their manager Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman has not yet given up hope of landing the Premier League’s all-time second top scorer.
However, Real are now using a familiar tactic to try and land the forward as one of their most legendary players offered his advice to Kane over his future.
And he left the Spurs ace in no doubt that he should head to the Bernabeu as he sent him a huge transfer message.
Ex-skipper Ramos – who spent 16 years at the club and won four Champions League and five LaLiga crowns – told The Mirror: “My advice is don’t turn down the opportunity to play for Real Madrid.

“It is a special club who know how to win.”
The 37-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender added: “Kane has an incredible physical presence — you can’t score as many goals as he does in the Premier League and not be able to play that side of the game.
“But he can play the technical side as well. I don’t think he gets enough credit for that.
“Yes he is a great goalscorer but also a great football player.”
