After facing a transfer block from Manchester United’s management, Harry Kane has voiced his frustrations. The former Tottenham star, initially linked with Manchester United, ultimately chose Bayern Munich, shifting to the Bundesliga instead of the Premier League.
Despite Manchester United’s interest, Kane remains unwavering in his decision to join Bayern Munich during the summer. Leading up to the 2023–24 season, the thirty-year-old England captain attracted attention from top European teams, with United particularly linked to the striker. However, Tottenham was unwilling to transfer their talisman to a domestic rival, paving the way for Bayern Munich to secure Kane in a deal exceeding one hundred million pounds.
In an unexpected twist, Kane’s new team ended up in the same Champions League group as Manchester United, setting the stage for a swift reunion. Bruno Fernandes took a jab at the Manchester United player, and a potentially awkward encounter with Sir Jim Ratcliffe awaits him.
Kane scored a goal in Bayern’s thrilling 4-3 victory in September, posing a threat to United’s European Championship aspirations in the upcoming rematch on Tuesday. Erik ten Hag’s team must secure a win to stay in contention for the next round.
Before the first game, Kane made it clear that he was pleased to choose Bayern Munich over Manchester United. In a September news conference, he stated, “Over the summer, I was aware of discussions between clubs, but Bayern was a team I was really excited about. Despite Manchester United being a fantastic and tremendously big club, I’m focused on Bayern.”
Manchester United’s interest in acquiring Harry Kane was thwarted by the club’s management, according to Erik ten Hag, who was keen on making Kane a marquee summer signing.
