Teddy Sheringham says Manchester United showed a \u2018damning lack of ambition\u2019 by not signing England stars Harry Kane and Declan Rice last summer.<\/p>\n

Both Kane and Rice were on the move before the start of 2023-24 campaign, with the striker ending his 14-year spell at Tottenham to join Bayern Munich and the midfielder moving from West Ham to Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Kane has enjoyed a sensational first season at Bayern on a personal level, scoring 44 goals in 44 appearances and helping Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Rice has been just as integral to Mikel Arteta\u2019s Arsenal, starting all but one of their Premier League games as the Gunners challenge Manchester City for the title.<\/p>\n

Sheringham insists Manchester United, sitting just eighth in the Premier League, are desperately missing players like Kane and Rice, and says it was a \u2018wake-up\u2019 call that his former club were not close to signing the pair last summer.<\/p>\n

\u2018I said at the start of the season, it was a damning lack of ambition for a club of Manchester United\u2019s size not to be in the hunt for Harry Kane and Declan Rice,\u2019 Sheringham told Genting Casino.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018In the old days, Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson] would have snapped both of those players up. These are two top, top players at Premier League and international level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Fergie would have been in for both of them. You\u2019re not just getting the player with Kane and Rice, you\u2019re getting the professionalism, the winning mentality, you\u2019re getting leadership.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018These guys drag players along with them and set your standards. There isn\u2019t a single player doing that at Manchester United at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Everyone is looking at each other and saying, \u201cI\u2019m doing my job, what about you?\u201d and that\u2019s not you need if you want to win titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
