Tottenham have ruled out the possibility of selling Harry Kane to Manchester United or any other Premier League rival, according to Sky Sports News.
Recent reports have emerged that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is willing to allow Kane move to United for a world-record fee of £200m because of financial worries during the coronavirus pandemic.
Tottenham stadium cost around £1bn and the pandemic is set to have huge financial repercussions on all Premier League sides, with Spurs moving early to furlough some its non-playing staff.

Reports have also claimed the England international would be open to join United, but Sky Sports News believe the England captain will not be leaving for Old Trafford or any other Premier League rival team.
Kane, who has been out injured since January has openly spoken about his frustration at so far failing to win any silverware with Tottenham – and says he is prepared to leave if the club does not progress.
The 26-year-old is recovering from a hamstring problem but opened up to Jamie Redknapp about his ambitions as a player during an Instagram chat in March.
Asked if he would be at Tottenham for the rest of his career, Kane revealed his intent to be one of the world’s best players and said he would not stay at the club if he did not feel he could achieve what he wants there.
“It’s one of those things, I couldn’t say yes, I couldn’t say no. I love Spurs, I’ll always love Spurs. But it’s one of those things – I’ve always said if I don’t feel we’re progressing as a team or going in the right direction, then I’m not someone to just stay there for the sake of it,” he told Redknapp.
“I’m an ambitious player, I want to improve, I want to get better, I want to become one of the top, top players.
“It all depends on what happens as a team and how we progress as a team. So it’s not a definite I’m going to stay there forever – but it’s not a no either.”
However, he is optimistic that things could change, given the track record of new manager Jose Mourinho.
“Next year, the gaffer now, it’ll be his first chance to really have a pre-season with the team and embed his values into the team and we’ll see what happens. Of course, I want to win, I want to win team trophies, I want to be doing it sooner rather than later. So we will have to see how it goes.”
