Manchester United stunned as Bayern Munich hijack swoop for £50m star

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in his last match for Spurs

MANCHESTER UNITED face a summer transfer battle with Bayern Munich to sign Harry Kane.

 

United have made no secret of their interest in the Spurs star but their attempts have been rebuffed by chairman Daniel Levy.

And on Friday, manager Mauricio Pochettino laughed off any suggestion of Kane leaving.

He said: "I smile because the rumours are always there.

"The rumours are the rumours. Even now it is too early start speaking about rumours but you know in football it is normal."

 

But Bayern's interest will certainly cause some concern at White Hart Lane.

According to the Sun on Sunday, the German champions have watched Kane three times and are ready to make a move for the player, who is valued at around £50million.

Last season, Kane scored 31 goals in a breakthrough year for Spurs. And in his last game for the north London club against Bournemouth, the 22-year-old scored a hat-trick.
