Kane’s move to Bayern has clearly boosted his chances of capturing that elusive first trophy. REUTERSPIX: Harry Kane's Bayern Munich host Manchester United on Wednesday, kick-starting their campaign in the competition which matters most to them this season.
While this understanding is not new for Bayern or indeed any of the handful of modern superclubs where domestic success is assured, the big money addition of Kane makes winning now a necessity.Bayern broke their transfer record to lure Kane from Tottenham in the summer, paying 100 million euros for the 30-year-old England captain.
The England captain said as much when unveiled in Munich, explaining “I want to play for the Champions League title, that’s why I came to Bayern.” The striker told Germany’s Sports Illustrated that he “wants to get the supporters behind us as early as possible and approach the game with a lot of intensity.”
Bayern had tried -- the club brought Fulham's Joao Palhinha to Munich on deadline day and had the Portugal star taking pictures in club shirts on deadline day -- but the deal broke down and the midfielder flew back to London.
