He said, "I think everyone would have an interest. Listen, if Harry Kane's not going to stay at Bayern Munich then I'd love him at Manchester United."

"If he's listening: 'Harry, you've got Alan Shearer's record there... help get Manchester United back!'"

Rooney believes Kane still has unfinished business in England despite enjoying enormous success in Germany.

The former United captain suggested winning the Premier League remains a major ambition for the striker.

He added, "You think for Harry Kane, he's won the Bundesliga and let's say he goes to Barcelona and wins La Liga... deep down he wants to win the Premier League.

"Imagine he comes to Manchester United and he's the one to drive that, to get Manchester United back to winning the league."
