Man United fans rue ‘frustrating’ transfer window after being drawn against Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich in the Champions League

Man United fans have been ruing their failure to sign Harry Kane this summer after being drawn against Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage.

Kane joined Bayern from Tottenham for £100 million earlier this summer, and has gotten off to an excellent start in Germany with three goals in his first two Bundesliga appearances.

United had made several attempts to sign the striker before eventually bringing in Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.

The Red Devils will now come up against Kane in a group that also features Galatasaray and Copenhagen.

Reacting to the draw, Mark Goldbridge tweeted: ‘Guarantee ten Hag is a lot more frustrated about the summer transfer window after that draw,’ although the United fan also said he ‘wanted’ a blockbuster tie against Bayern.

The Red Devils have started their Premier League season with two wins in their first three games but are yet to put in a convincing performance

Some fans are already predicting the worst for one United face Bayern in Europe

Others said they had already ‘seen the script’ for Kane scoring at Old Trafford, and asked people to ‘pray for United’ as ‘Bayern will absolutely destroy them.

There were some more positive takes on the draw given United’s history against Bayern in Europe.

The two clubs were drawn in the same group in the 1998/9 season, and after two draws in the group staged they produced one of the all-time great finals in Barcelona.

United scored twice in second-half injury time after trailing 1-0 after 90 minutes, completing a treble that went unmatched in England until Man City’s triumph last season.

Statman Dave reminded fans of the iconic final on Twitter, as he tweeted the full group with the caption ‘Late in May in 1999’ in reference to a song often heard on the Old Trafford terraces.

There were also optimists who recalled United’s dramatic 2-1 win over Bayern in the 1999 UCL final

Erik ten Hag’s side also face Copenhagen, giving Rasmus Hojlund a chance to face his old side

There were those looked eagerly ahead to such a big tie in the tournament’s group stage

One fan felt there would be ‘a great sense of occasion’ for a tie between ‘two of the biggest clubs in the world’ so early on in the tournament.

Some also looked to the Copenhagen fixture, which will see new signing Hojlund face the side he started his career with.

Before they worry about European football, United will face their biggest test of the season in the next game against Arsenal on Sunday.

The Red Devils have taken six points from their opening three games but are yet to put in an entirely convincing performance.
