Could Harry Kane Really Move to Manchester United?

If you believe the rumours, there’s a chance that Harry Kane could leave Spurs and soon join rivals Manchester United. Could this really happen?

There has been a lot of speculation in recent weeks about Harry Kane potentially leaving Tottenham Hotspur either in the January transfer window or at the end of the season.

The question being asked here is, could Harry Kane really move to Manchester United? If not, which other major European club could he go to? Find out more right here.

How likely is it that Harry Kane will leave Spurs?

To better understand just how likely it is that Harry Kane will leave English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur either in the current January 2023 transfer window or at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, the best thing to do would be to check the latest odds at today’s best sports betting sites.

For example, betting on the Premier League is now possible at several fully licensed online bookmakers, such as the official Unibet website. If you were to place a wager right now on Harry Kane leaving Spurs to join another club, you would be looking at the following competitive odds:

• Newcastle United are the current odds-on favourite. To join this rival Premier League side, you would be looking at UK fractional odds of around 12/1, which means there’s a 7.70% implied probability rate of him joining The Magpies. In European decimal odds, 12/1 it’s equal to 13.00, and in American/moneyline odds, it’s 1,200.

Therefore, if you were to place a $/€/£10.00 bet on Harry Kane to join Newcastle with these odds, your total returns would be $/€/£130.00 (which includes your initial $/€/£10.00 stake returned, plus a cool $/€/£120.00 profit).

• Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) – to join this French Ligue 1 side, you are looking at odds of around 14/1 (15.00, or 1,400), with a 6.70% chance of joining
• Real Madrid – to join this Spanish La Liga side, you are also looking at odds of around 14/1 (15.00, or 1,400), with a 6.70% chance of joining
• Barcelona – to join this Spanish La Liga side, you are looking at odds of around 18/1 (19.00, or 1,800), with a 5.30% chance of joining
• Manchester United – to join this English Premier League side, you are also looking at odds of around 18/1 (19.00, or 1,800), with a 5.30% chance of joining
• Arsenal – to join this English Premier League side, you are looking at odds of around 66/1 (67.00, or 6,600), with a 1.50% chance of joining

In other words, nothing looks certain. Also, don’t forget that even though Newcastle United are looking most like Harry Kane’s next team, don’t forget that no matter how certain these 12/1 odds first seem, no sports bet is ever guaranteed.

If you take Haaland out of the equation, Harry Kane would be the odds-on favourite to score the most goals at 33/100 (-303, or 1.33), which means he would have a 75.20% chance of being the highest goal scorer and winning the Golden Boot.

Therefore, if you were to place a $/€/£100.00 wager right now on Harry Kane to score the most goals, your total returns would be $/€/£133.00 (which would include your initial $/€/£100.00 stake returned, plus a $/€/£33.00 profit).
