Harry Kane expects his Bayern Munich team to face a dangerous Manchester United on Wednesday night, despite the ‘difficult moment’ the Red Devils are going through.
In a blockbuster Champions League clash this week Bayern host Manchester United in their opening group stage game, hoping to continue their good form and extend their opponent’s poor run of results.
Erik ten Hag’s side lost 3-1 at home to Brighton on Saturday, leaving them with just six points from five matches, which Kane rightly describes as a ‘difficult moment’ for the Dutchman and his squad.
However, the England captain says his team will not be taking anything for granted and be ready to face a dangerous foe with something to prove.
‘A difficult game,’ Kane told Sports Illustrated on what he expects on Wednesday evening. ‘I know Manchester United are having a difficult moment, but sometimes teams like that are dangerous because they’re always looking to come back in a big way.
‘So we have to be prepared for them and of course we want to get the crowd behind us as early as possible on Wednesday in front of our home crowd and approach the game with a lot of intensity.
‘The Champions League is always special and my first game with Bayern Munich will stay with me – so I hope it goes well.’
Kane has predictably started well in the Bundesliga since his move from Tottenham this summer with four goals in his first four games.
His move has not been entirely straightforward, though, with his family staying in London, which has not been easy to deal with.
Asked what he misses about England he said: ‘The only thing I miss at the moment is my family because they are still in London at the moment. If we can find a house here and move here, that would be great. Otherwise everything is okay, I’ll just take it easy.’
