Dimitar Berbatov sends message to Harry Kane over leaving Tottenham for Man Utd

Former Tottenham Hotspur star, Dimitar Berbatov, has urged striker, Harry Kane to make the tough decision to leave the club for Manchester United.

The former Bulgaria international, who won two Premier League titles at Manchester United after leaving Tottenham to join the Red Devils in 2008, believes Kane may have to follow suit.

WATV recalls that Kane has drawn interest from Man United in the past few weeks.

The England international, who is yet to win any silverware at Tottenham, has scored 181 goals in 278 matches for Spurs over the past six seasons.

“The final step for me was joining Man United, and I knew I would be making people disappointed, especially Tottenham fans, but I was following my own path,” Berbatov told the Football Daily podcast.

“I knew if I missed that chance, another one might not come.

“This is how it is in football. Sometimes you need to make tough decisions.

“The same exact situation is happening with Harry Kane at the moment.

“He is in the same situation as I was in, and he has started asking questions, and maybe his head is not in the right place just like my head was not in the right place then.

“The lack of trophies is the main problem for players like Kane.

“He is not getting any younger. He wants to look back and know he won trophies.

“When I see Tottenham play Man United now, even if on paper Spurs have better players, they still go there with fear,” he said.

‘Lockdown affecting Ramadan sales’

Some food vendors in Lagos metropolis yesterday lamented the shortfalls in their sales during the Ramadan. According to them, many people who patronised the food vendors did not show up to buy food for Iftar (breaking of fast) and Sahur (early hour meal). The Nation also observed that not many food sellers engage in the brisk business this year. Usually, between 3am and 6:30am, the streets of Lagos are busy with food vendors preparing dishes. Many men who don’t have wives at home patronise the food vendors. The food vendors are also the toast of some couples, who find it difficult to wake up in the early hours to cook. Mrs Folasade Ayoola, who sells food on Lagos Island, said she had been incurring debts due to wastage of the meals. “We bought foodstuff and pepper at a higher price in the market, hoping to make good sales from those who are fasting, but the reverse is the case. People are not forthcoming like the previous Ramadan,” she said. According to her, some of t...
