Man United is having a bad start to the Premier League campaign, losing 1-3 to Brighton on Saturday. But striker Harry Kane asserted that Bayern Munich should be wary of the Red Devils when they meet in the Champions League group stage

Wednesday night’s match in Group A of the Champions League recreates the iconic final of 1999. But the balance of strength and performance of both sides is tilted heavily in favor of the home team Munich.

Man United suffered a heavy 1-3 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford, continuing a series of difficult matches at the beginning of the season, when Erik ten Hag’s team only won 6 points after 5 Premier League matches.

However, the 30-year-old insists he will not be taking anything lightly when he meets Man United on Wednesday. “It’s going to be a tough game,” Kane told Sports Illustrated. I know Manchester United are struggling at the moment, but sometimes teams like that are dangerous because they always find a way to come back strongly.

“So it is necessary to prepare to face them and of course we want to get the crowd behind us as soon as possible and approach the match with high intensity. The Champions League is always special and the first match against Bayern Munich will stay in my mind for a long time – so I hope it goes well.”

During his career, Kane scored 21 goals in 32 appearances in Europe’s elite club competition, but only appeared there for five seasons, as Tottenham were regularly eliminated in the group stage.

Last season, Tottenham was eliminated by AC Milan in the round of 16, but reached the final of the 2018-2019 season when they lost to Liverpool.

Kane did not hide his ambition to win the championship for Bayern, the team had lifted the trophy six times before, when Bayern played in Group A with Man United, FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

“The whole club, the team, the staff – everyone was welcoming, very friendly and helped me integrate as quickly as possible. And what surprised me the most were the fans. Since coming here, I have felt their full support. I see a lot of Kane jerseys and national team jerseys being sold.

“I look forward to building this relationship and getting to know everyone better, but so far this is a good start.”
