Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The England skipper has made the ideal start to life with the Bundesliga giants, scoring four goals in four games, but he started the summer, according to the Daily Mail, with his heart set on a move to Old Trafford. <\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag made Kane his No.1 target to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s departure, but eventually turned his attention to the signing of Danish youngster Rasmus Hojlund when it became clear that doing a deal with Daniel Levy and Spurs would be less than straightforward.<\/p>\n
Kane was still said to be willing to wait another year and join on a free transfer butthe signing of Hojlund effectively closed the door and opened up an opportunity for Bayern to pounce.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old will make his Champions League debut for Bayern tomorrow night against United at the Allianz Arena and insists he has no regrets over his \u00a3100million transfer. <\/p>\n
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Kane said: \u2018Over 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.<\/p>\n
\u2018There weren\u2019t many other discussions when they came in and the deal got done.<\/p>\n
\u2018My focus is on here, Manchester United are a great club and a big club too, but I decided to come here and I\u2019m glad I did.\u2019<\/p>\n

On his desire to end his personal quest to win the silverware his astonishing individual records merit, Kane added: \u2018The Champions League is a big goal of course but I\u2019m not solely focusing on that. I want to win all three competitions we\u2019re in.<\/p>\n
\u2018We prepare for this like we would any other game. Of course, it\u2019s the biggest competition in Europe and having the final at Wembley would be extra special but that\u2019s too far ahead, I\u2019m not getting carried away.<\/p>\n
\u2018We just need to start positively tomorrow night.\u2019<\/p>\n
