‘ideally’ wants to sign two strikers this summer and will look to add a second forward even if complete a deal for Atalanta ace Rasmus Hojlund.
The Danish sensation is following an acceptance that will not sell .
Kane, 29, had been United’s first choice but tentative talks with Spurs at the end of last season ended with the Red Devils feeling a deal would be impossible.
Hojlund, 20, is now Ten Hag’s main target but the Serie A club are seeking around £86m for the Denmark international.
United and – on loan – to talk the Italians down from their asking price.
The club feel Hojlund could develope into a world class centre forward and he’s already earned comparisons with Erling Haaland for his style of play.
But the Dane is just 20 and the say Ten Hag is wary of piling too much pressure on the forward’s shoulders.
It’s therefore claimed that, even in the event of signing Hojlund, Ten Hag would ideally like to sign a second striker.
While Hojlund is considered a centre forward, Ten Hag wants a forward that can play across the front.
Marcus Rashford excelled in a left-wing role last season but he sometimes played through the middle, while Anthony Martial can play in both roles.
Alejandro Garnacho and Jadon Sancho can play on both wings, while Bruno Fernandes sometimes played from the right.
United have been linked with Randal Kolo Muani but the Frankfurt ace is valued at around £75m and is a target for Bayern Munich.
