Harry Kane is reportedly ‘disappointed’ that Thomas Tuchel is leaving Bayern Munich, amid rumours linking the England captain with Manchester United.
The prolific striker left boyhood club Tottenham last summer for Bayern in a deal worth £82million, with Tuchel playing a pivotal role in securing the transfer.
Kane was said to be very keen on working with the former Chelsea and PSG manager, but their time together is almost up already after it was announced that Tuchel would be leaving Bayern at the end of the season.
That decision was made after a string of terrible results that have left the German giants on the verge of going trophy-less for the first time since 2012.
They were knocked out of the German Cup by a third division side and trail Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points in the Bundesliga with just nine games to go.
That leaves the Champions League as their last realistic chance to win silverware, and while they have reached the quarter-finals, they came close to being knocked out by Lazio.
Tuchel has split opinion amongst the players at the club, with Kane said to be ‘disappointed’ by his impending departure as he would have liked to have continued working under him, according to German outlet Kicker via talkSPORT.

The Three Lions skipper has accepted the situation however and does not wish to dampen the mood in the Munich dressing room.
This news may be of interest to United fans however, after there were some tentative rumours linking the 30-year-old to Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag was determined to sign Kane last summer and it is said that new United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe would be very interested in making a move for the player should Bayern put him up for sale.
That doesn’t seem very likely at this point given how Kane has scored a staggering 36 goals and made 11 assists in 34 appearances so far for Bayern.

While the club are planning a big reshuffle of their squad this summer, the striker is among those considered ‘untouchable’.
But notably, Tuchel is keen on returning to the Premier League and would be interested in taking the reins at Old Trafford if Ten Hag was to depart.
For now, Bayern will be hoping to close the gap to Leverkusen when they travel to bottom of the Bundesliga Darmstadt on Saturday.
