Manchester United rejected the possibility of signing to Harry Kane in favor of a movement for Rasmus Hojlund, he was revealed.
Kane decided to leave Tottenham in 2023 in search of silverware, finally joining the German giants of Bayern Munich in an agreement worth almost 100 million pounds sterling.
Erik Ten Hag, director of United at the time, made Kane his transfer objective this summer, knowing that the Spurs would require more to sell to a premier league rival.
This rejected United, as well as movements for Randal Kolo Muani – who joined Paris Saint -Germain for around 70 million pounds Sterling – and Victor Osimhen, who at the time cost a figure similar to Kane.
Benni McCarthy, coach of United at the time, confirmed that the club’s bosses opposed his veto in Kane in favor of the much younger Hojlund, who was signed by Atalanta in an agreement of a value going as far as 72 million pounds sterling.
“During the summer of 2023, Harry Kane was our goal No. 1,” McCarthy told Ladbrokes. “Because he would have left the Spurs for United, a few million additional pounds were added to the price, which, you know, for a 30 -year -old man was not considered wise.
“But for 100 million pounds sterling, if you look at him now, you would say that it would take it because he went to Bayern and he still produces, he always scores. So you think we would have had to bite the ball and I had Harry Kane and also tried to invest in Rasmus Hojlund.
“So, yes, Harry Kane was Erik’s target n ° 1. Erik really wanted it. Kolo Muani was also very high on this list. Victor Osimhen was also on this list. But I felt that if you wanted to want to spend this Kind of money – 100 million pounds sterling and more – so you want the complete package.
“But unfortunately, the club did not see it that way. They considered it Rasmus Hojlund in the long term would be a more popular asset than investing in Rasmus and Harry Kane. So we have stopped continuing Kane and We ended up just Rasmus.
Kane scored 55 goals in 50 Bundesliga games for Bayern, while Hojlund scored 23 times in 75 games for United.
