Paul Scholes says he is ?desperate? for Manchester United to sign Harry Kane ahead of Jadon Sancho and doesn?t think right-wing is a ?major priority? in terms of strengthening the squad.
United are keen on recruiting the Borussia Dortmund winger this transfer window and reports claimed earlier this week that a deal was close to being finalised.
