'You have to see if they really want to do well for the club and are not just coming for the money': Former Manchester United defender Rafael warns club against big-money deals for likes of Harry Kane and Jadon Sancho because of previous 'mistakes'

Former Manchester United defender Rafael da Silva has warned the club on pursuing top targets Harry Kane and Jadon Sancho as they might come 'for the money'.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to strengthen his attacking options in the next transfer window and both the Tottenham striker and Borussia Dortmund winger have been linked with a move to Old Trafford.

However, the Brazilian, who now plays for Ligue 1 side Lyon, warned Manchester United against making more 'mistakes' with big-money signings.
