England captain Kane joined Bayern Munich after leaving boyhood club Tottenham and has scored 43 goals in all competitions for the Bundesliga giants. Instead of Kane, United recruited Denmark international Hojlund for £72 million ($90 million) from Atalanta - the 21-year-old has so far scored 14 goals. "We have to win every game," Ten Hag told former United captain Gary Neville on Sky Sports.

"We have had some choices made with talents like Rasmus Hojlund. I can see a striker [Harry Kane] who already proved it, who we want to sign and we couldn't get him. And then we went to Rasmus because he's a talent. "With Harry Kane you know you get 30 goals. I think Rasmus will get there but he needs time."
