Manchester United will face Nottingham Forest for the 109th time on Saturday but it would be a massive surprise if the scoreline looked anything like the one from their 1999 encounter.
Erik ten Hag speaks out on Harry Kane transfer after Manchester United passed on striker
11.08.2023 - 13:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag suggested Manchester United stuck to their strategy in moving for Rasmus Hojlund over Harry Kane.
Kane was Ten Hag's preferred striker target but United were discouraged from bidding for the Tottenham talisman due to chairman Daniel Levy's resistance to selling Kane to another Premier League club.
The Manchester Evening News reported in April United had no intention of "playing games" with Levy, having last signed a player from Tottenham in 2008 when Dimitar Berbatov joined on transfer deadline day.
United turned their attention to Hojlund, who arrived in a £72million deal from Atalanta last week. Tottenham have agreed to sell Kane to Bayern Munich for a fee rising up to £100m.

Kane has entered the last year of his Spurs contract but United never submitted a bid for the England captain this summer.
"I don't think that I have to go into that discussion or give an opinion about that," Ten Hag said when asked about Kane. "We are professional, the processes we do are really careful.
"We consider a lot of things but finally we make decisions, we don't take decisions overnight, there is a strategy in every decision behind and we are happy with the squad we have behind us now."
"We have chosen a striker and we are really happy with our choice. He (Kane)'s a great striker, clear. A goal-maker and apart from that he has all the conditions and abilities that you want to see in a striker.
"It's a miss for the Premier League, absolutely."
