But in the end, Erik ten Hag had to make do with Rasmus Hojlund. This was since United refused to accede to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy’s demand for money.
“Obviously, over the summer I know there were some talks between a few clubs in the background, but Bayern were a team I was really interested and excited by,” Kane stated prior to United’s Group A opening on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena.
“There were not too many other discussions once they came in. It was between them and Tottenham to talk and then the deal got done. My focus is on here. Manchester United are a great club, a really big club as well. I just decided to come here and am really happy I have,” he added.
United has lost three of its first five Premier League games this season due to their sluggish play. Despite Brighton’s 3-1 victory against them in their previous home game, Kane is not prepared to write them off.
“United have been going through a tough spell recently, but sometimes that can be really dangerous,” he said.
“They are looking for a big response and we need to be careful of that. We are at home and want to dictate the game, to play the way we want to – but they have some threats as well who we have to be careful of,” he added.
