Harry Kane Ready to Propel Bayern Munich and Oust Them from Champions League
As the Champions League group stages draw to an end, the England captain will take centre stage at Old Trafford, demonstrating to the home crowd—who is getting more and more irate—what they missed when United passed on purchasing him from Tottenham in the summer.
Although Spurs chairman Daniel Levy was hesitant to sell to a Premier League opponent, it would have come at an inflated price, considering that Kane had scored 22 goals in 19 appearances for Bayern Munich.
If Erik ten Hag had convinced his board to give him the money, he might not have been able to match that remarkable total because United’s supporting cast isn’t as good as Bayern’s, but he would have had a significant impact.
For United, the end of the European road has arrived early. They need to win and pray that the outcome in Copenhagen goes their way in order to have any chance of making it to the knockout stages. The signs are bad because, despite having already qualified as group champions, Bayern seems to be bringing a strong team to Manchester in an attempt to eliminate a potential banana peel later on.
In addition, pride is at risk since they do not want to lose again after being soundly defeated 5-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga last weekend.
The odds are not in Ten Hag’s favour, who will need to muster the troops following the humiliating 3-0 loss at home to Bournemouth, and Bayern stands out as a sore thumb at 6/4 with BetUK to force United to make an expensive departure.
With the same company, Kane is 4/1 to score the first goal, and BetUK is offering 6/5 for the Londoner to score at any moment.
In the rematch, United scored two goals late in what the Americans would refer to as “garbage time,” giving the score a more favourable aspect. Nevertheless, Bayern won 4-3. With Unibet, the over 3.5 goals odds are 27/20 this time.
