Harry Kane urges Bayern Munich not to underestimate Man United this week despite their poor start to the season… as he claims they will be looking to ‘bounce back in a big way’

Harry Kane has insisted Bayern Munich must be wary of Manchester United when they host this week, despite the Red Devils’ poor start to the season.

The teams will face each other in the Champions League group stage on Wednesday evening, in what is a repeat of the iconic 1999 final.

United suffered a damaging 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday to continue their difficult run, with Erik ten Hag’s side taking just six points from their opening five Premier League games.

Meanwhile, Kane – who joined Bayern from Tottenham this summer for £100million – has had a fantastic start in Bavaria, with the England captain scoring four times in four games for the German giants, who are unbeaten in the Bundesliga.

However, the 30-year-old insisted he would not take anything for granted when they take on United on Wednesday.

“A tough match,” he said Sports illustrated. ‘I know Manchester United are going through a difficult moment at the moment, but sometimes teams like that are dangerous because they are always looking for a big comeback.

‘So we have to be prepared for it and of course we want to get the crowd behind us as early as possible in front of our own audience on Wednesday and approach the match with a lot of intensity.

‘The Champions League is always special and my first match with Bayern Munich will stay with me, so I hope it goes well.’

Kane has scored 21 goals in 32 appearances in Europe’s elite club competition during his career, but only played for five seasons, with Spurs often missing out on qualification.

Last season they crashed out in the last 16 against AC Milan, but reached the final in 2018/19 when they lost to Liverpool.

Kane will have ambitions to win the competition for Bayern, who have lifted the trophy six times previously, with FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray joining United in their group.

Since joining Thomas Tuchel on the eve of the season, Kane has also stressed that he is thoroughly enjoying his time at the club.

He added: “Everything has been fantastic so far. Obviously I had a lot to do, both on and off the field, looking for a house and so on.

‘The whole club, the team, the staff: everyone welcomed me and was very friendly and helped me get into my place as quickly as possible.

‘And what surprised me most were the fans. Since my arrival I have felt their extreme support. I see so many Kane jerseys and national team jerseys.

“I’m looking forward to building this relationship and getting to know everyone even better, but so far it’s been a good start.”
