Bayern Munich coach Tuchel fires warning at Man Utd: Kane is ready

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel says they'll be focused against Manchester United's Champions League clash tonight.

Tuchel will demand a reaction after their thrashing by Eintracht Frankfurt.

"I understand that some people thought that against Copenhagen it looked like we weren't throwing everything into it," said Tuchel. “But when you sign for Bayern or United, you sign up to give 100 percent every day. When you wear the Bayern jersey, you behave like champions, there's no other way.

“We have high expectations, even if we are always under pressure. United will give everything to get through. But we expect a top performance from us.

“I hope we can match United's enthusiasm and energy, which I'm sure they'll bring to the game.

"They are always a dangerous team. They have a certain aura. It's part of their DNA that they can come through difficult moments. This stadium creates special moments. It will be a big challenge for us."

On Harry Kane, Tuchel added: "We're very proud we were able to sign Harry. He's a great character and a great role model, a terrific player.

“He scores a lot of goals and will be very happy to play here tomorrow. It's a great story that we were able to bring the England captain, your centre-forward, to Germany."
