[OSEN=우충원 기자] The reason why Manchester United gave up on Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) has been revealed. He was not recruited due to opposition from scouts.
The Athletic reported on the 20th (hereinafter Korean time), “Manchester United manager Eric Tenhag strongly wanted to recruit Kane,” and added, “However, he was unable to achieve his wish due to opposition from the club’s scout.”
Manchester United, who failed to recruit Kane, the Premier League’s best striker, eventually chose Rasmus Høirun. Hoirun, a player 10 years younger than Kane, was recruited because of his potential. Of course, it is currently difficult to expect Kane’s level of performance.
Kane left Tottenham, where he had been for over 10 years, last month and joined Bayern Munich. His transfer fee is a whopping 100 million euros (143.1 billion won), and his annual salary is 25 million euros (35.8 billion won). His contract lasts four years until June 2027. Kane, who wears the Bayern Munich number 9 uniform instead of Tottenham number 10, is performing well on the German stage without any adaptation period.
No matter what anyone says, Kane is one of the greatest legends in Tottenham history. He grew up in Tottenham from a young age and scored a total of 273 goals in a Tottenham uniform, becoming the highest scorer in the club’s history.
The Athletic explained, “Manchester United believed that they could challenge for the title by signing Kane. Manager Ten Haag also shared the same opinion. When options for a new striker were reviewed last summer, Kane was first choice.”

In fact, Manchester United was mentioned as a frontrunner to recruit Kane. He has been consistently connected to Kane since last winter. Bayern Munich was also mentioned, but Kane was strongly rumored to prefer remaining in the Premier League, so Manchester United was predicted to be the likely choice.
Of course, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy at the time strongly opposed Kane’s transfer. Manchester United also suffered from Chairman Levy’s threats.
The Athletic shed light on the situation at the time, saying, “Manchester United knew that Tottenham Chairman Levy had only two options: sell Kane or renew his contract. It was thought that he would eventually sell.”
However, Manchester United did not even send proper conditions for signing Kane.
The Athletic explained, “Manchester United has the right to reject the manager’s decision to recruit in the SkyTeam section. Scouts were opposed to the signing of Kane.”
The so-called opinions of the department, manager, and club leadership to strengthen the team must agree, but the opinions of the scouting department and coach Ten Haag did not agree.
The Athletic said, “Kane wanted an annual salary of 30 million pounds (49.3 billion won) and a weekly salary of 500,000 pounds (820 million won). The transfer fee was expected to be more than 100 million pounds (164.6 billion won). However, the Manchester United scout team evaluated that the money was too expensive for a 30-year-old striker. They signed Hoirun for 72 million pounds (118.5 billion won). The transfer fee was not much different, but his salary was much lower and he was only 20 years old.” / [email protected]
