Erik ten Hag insists Manchester United have no regrets over signing Rasmus Hojlund instead of Harry Kane this summer.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
United had explored a move for Kane at the start of the summer but ended up moving on due to the costs involved in signing the England captain from Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Bayern ended up agreeing a \u00a3100 million deal to sign Kane from Spurs, while United opted to land Hojlund in a \u00a372m deal from Atalanta.<\/p>\n
Hojlund is being carefully managed back to full fitness after arriving at Old Trafford with a back injury, meanwhile, Kane has hit the ground running at Bayern with four goals in four Bundesliga appearances.<\/p>\n
But Ten Hag is adamant that United made the correct decision in the transfer window.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t think we have to repeat this debate,\u2019 Ten Hag replied when asked if United have any regrets about missing out on Kane.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018We are happy with Rasmus, obviously first game he was injured.<\/p>\n
\u2018He played against Arsenal, he\u2019s now had a start, now we have to integrate him in the team. <\/p>\n
\u2018But you can see he\u2019s a big talent and he will contribute to our game. We\u2019re quite confident of that.\u2019<\/p>\n
Kane, meanwhile, says he is \u2018really happy\u2019 about joining Bayern in the summer.<\/p>\n
\u2018Obviously, 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,\u2019 said the England captain ahead of Bayern\u2019s Champions League clash with United on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
\u2018There were not too many other discussions once they came in. It was between them and Tottenham to talk and then the deal got done.<\/p>\n
\u2018My 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.\u2019<\/p>\n
