Coach Erik ten Hag believes that Rasmus Hojlund is a great talent, so he does not regret ignoring Harry Kane to recruit the Danish striker.
Tomorrow morning, Man United will be a guest against Bayern Munich in the match of round 1 of Group A of the Champions League. These are two clubs that were very interested in Harry Kane last summer. In the end, Bayern was the team that won the English striker’s signature. At the pre-match press conference, Man United coach Erik ten Hag seemed to have carefully prepared for questions related to Kane. Therefore, when asked if he regretted not signing a contract with the 30-year-old striker last summer, the Dutch strategist immediately said no. “Are not. I think we’ve talked about this many times. We are satisfied with Rasmus. In the first match, he couldn’t play due to injury. He came on the field in the match against Arsenal. In the match against Brighton, he started from the start, and now we have to bring him into the squad. Rasmus is a great talent,” said Ten Hag.
Earlier this summer, Man United approached Kane again but withdrew because Tottenham asked for too high a price. After that, Bayern was the only team serious about recruiting the English striker. In the end, the Gray Tigers successfully won Kane’s signature for a club record price (94.5 million pounds).
For their part, Man United, after abandoning the Harry Kane deal, targeted many other strikers such as Victor Osimhen, Goncalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani. Finally, the Red Devils decided to spend 72 million pounds to recruit Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.
Up to now, Kane has scored 4 goals and made 1 assist after 4 matches for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, Hojlund, after arriving at Old Trafford, had to miss 3 matches to fully recover from his back injury. After returning, the 20-year-old striker played 87 minutes for Man United but did not score any goals.
