Owen recently claimed it would be no achievement for the Three Lions skipper to win the Bundesliga but Ince says the comments are &#8220;very unfair&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Kane finally left Tottenham to join Bayern Munich in the summer. Bayern will pay Spurs up to \u00a3100million for the striker including add-ons.<\/p>\n<p>He has had a stunning start to life in Germany, scoring 24 goals in his first 21 matches in all competitions. But the move didn&#8217;t go down well with Owen.<\/p>\n<p>Owen claimed in October that Kane should have stayed at Spurs if the likes of Real Madrid weren&#8217;t interested in the summer. He said winning the Bundesliga is not a good enough reason to have left north London.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd threaten to &#8216;terminate contracts&#8217; as Sir Jim Ratcliffe gets ruthless<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Michael-Owen-Harry-Kane-Bayern-Munich-Paul-Ince-5125065.jpg?r=1703089666321\"><\/p>\n<p>Owen told DAZN Bet: &#8220;Bayern are undoubtedly one of the biggest clubs in the world but for me to win a trophy, I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s anything really special about going and guaranteeing yourself a Bundesliga trophy. Bayern will win the league with or without Kane, so I don&#8217;t think that was particularly a reason to leave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But like last season, Bayern do not look nailed on to win the Bundesliga this term. They are currently second, four points behind Bayer Leverkusen despite Kane&#8217;s record-breaking start.<\/p>\n<p>Ince says Owen&#8217;s verdict was wrong and has stressed that the league in Germany is now much more competitive than it once was. Ince told DAZN Bet: &#8220;I think Michael Owen&#8217;s comments on the Bundesliga are very unfair. A title is a title. Bayern aren&#8217;t even top of the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s also the threat of Dortmund, Leipzig, and Stuttgart. It&#8217;s not as easy as people think. Bayern barely won it last year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Carragher calls for major Carabao Cup rule change after Chelsea beat Newcastle[SOCIAL] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Arsenal make &#8216;final decision&#8217; on selling two stars in January transfer window[GOSSIP] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd&#8217;s &#8216;future captain&#8217; could join Championship club as &#8216;interest expressed'[REPORT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Bundesliga is getting tougher.
