Harry Kane was earmarked as a potential target for Man United before his transfer to Bayern Munich - but figures upstairs side-stepped a deal with Tottenham.
Goals were a major problem for Manchester United during the Erik ten Hag era and, yet, one potential solution he earmarked would have pretty much guaranteed them.
Although striking up business with such a fearsome negotiator would have been tricky to say the least, had things gone to plan in that respect then seeing Kane in a United shirt would have been the perfect answer to Manchester City boasting Erling Haaland in their ranks.ALSO READ: Obi-Martin scores again in win for United U18s
Buy cheap, buy twice as the saying goes. Hojlund and Zirkzee were not particularly cheap, it has to be said, and the former in particular might have the ability to justify his price tag. However, in Kane, there was the finished article to at least try and find the catalyst to wrestle back bragging rights in this famous footballing city.
That would-be transfer will be impossible in January and difficult next summer. Ultimately, though, there's perhaps every chance Amorim will knock at the boardroom door, eventually, and ask Ineos to scribble out a sizable cheque for Gyokeres or another ready-made, top-level striker who can do the business for United right now.
