Kane happy choosing Bayern Munich over Man Utd: Maguire has been scapegoated

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane says he's happy with his move to Germany.

As he was leaving Tottenham, Kane also had interest from tomorrow night's Champions League opponents Manchester United.

But he said today: "Over the summer I know there were talks between a few clubs in the background, but Bayern was a team I was really interested and excited by.

"There weren't many other discussions when they came in and the deal got done.

"My focus is on here, Manchester United are a great club and a big club too, but I decided to come here and I'm glad I did."

Kane also commented on United defender and England teammate Harry Maguire and the abuse he gets from his own fans.

The striker added: "I think H [Harry Maguire] has come under some unnecessary scrutiny.

"He has probably been scapegoated a bit. He is a really good friend of mine, a great guy and a really hard working professional.

"He has been one of England's best defenders over recent times and in England's history.

"It is part of football, you are scrutinised. Knowing him, he will just want to work hard and improve. We are fully behind him as a national team."
