      “The results maybe don’t but it is a team full of quality and we will never underestimate them.”
      Tonight’s match will see Harry Kane come up against English opposition for the first time since leaving Tottenham for the Bundesliga last month.
      Ahead of the game, the England skipper said: “Obviously, over the summer I know there were some talks between a few clubs in the background, but Bayern were a team I was really interested and excited by.
      “There were not too many other discussions once they came in. It was between them and Tottenham to talk and then the deal got done.
      “My focus is on here. Manchester United are a great club, a really big club as well. I just decided to come here and am really happy I have.”
