Harry Kane was signed by Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur after an incredibly taxing and time-consuming negotiation process. At that time, a lot other teams were also in the running, but in the end, the Bavarians were able to acquire their player. The Manchester United coach, Erik ten Hag, disclosed that the Red Devils attempted to sign Kane but were unsuccessful:
I see a striker who has already shown his mettle; we attempted to sign him but were unable. We then proceeded to Rasmus [Højlund] due to his exceptional talent.
Journalist: Harry Kane?
Ten Hag: “You know Harry Kane will score thirty goals for you, right? Yes. Though Rasmus needs more time, I believe he will succeed. To evaluate him in the same way as Harry Kane would be unfair. Because two players are so distinct from one another, I would never compare them.
