Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag requested for the signature of new Bayern Munich forward, Harry Kane but his request was turned down by the hierarchy of the club.
Kane was an outstanding performer for Spurs for many years. And according to the Athletic, he appears to have been at the forefront of the United manager’s list this summer before deciding to join Bayern.
Now facing the Red Devils in their UEFA Champions League opener. It will be fascinating to witness if the England international can have a positive effect against the side that was so eager to sign him.
Ten Hag would undoubtedly have benefited from having a player of Kane’s caliber in his squad. But it is also important to note that the United board had legitimate concerns about the potential cost of the deal.

For MUFC, it might still have been worthwhile to give it a shot. But one can only think how much time it would have taken away from other summer ambitions and how much it might have cost the team.
With Kane now a member of the Bayern squad, Thomas Tuchel’s team will undoubtedly be more of a serious contender for the Champions League this season as a result of his addition.
