Manchester United have been linked with a move for the England international in a bid to bolster their attacking prowess\"HarryBayern Munich star Harry Kane(Image: PA)<\/p>\n

Harry Kane, who has been linked with Manchester United<\/a>, is reportedly planning to stay at Bayern Munich for another season, ending any speculation about a potential return to the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United are in desperate need of a new striker this summer, having scored just 39 goals in 34 top flight games this season. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee<\/a> have both had underwhelming campaigns, netting only 16 times combined across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Kane, on the other hand, has scored an impressive 36 goals in 44 appearances for Bayern Munich so far. In his debut season, the 31-year-old found the net 44 times in 45 outings.<\/p>\n

The Manchester Evening News understand that United bought Hojlund<\/a> after they decided against pursuing Kane two summer’s ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, German publication BILD<\/a> reported that Kane’s contract at the Allianz Arena included a release clause, potentially allowing him to leave for \u00a367million in January. That figure is expected to drop to \u00a354m this summer, drawing United\u2019s attention to the situation.<\/p>\n

However, talkSPORT<\/a> now reports that sources close to the England international have indicated he is happy in Germany and wants to help Bayern win the Bundesliga and Champions League<\/a> titles before considering a move<\/p>\n

Bayern’s next game against RB Leipzig could see Vincent Kompany’s<\/a> team secure the Bundesliga title, giving Kane the first silverware of his career. However, he will not participate after receiving a fifth yellow card against Mainz.<\/p>\n

“Crazy, crazy decision,” the former Tottenham star said. “It’s kind of my story that I’ll miss the Leipzig game but no worries, I’ll celebrate more than anyone else.<\/p>\n

“I’m very disappointed that I got the yellow card. Because I also knew I already had four yellow cards. It’s crazy to be suspended with five yellow cards in 34 matches. It’s just a crazy rule. There should be a reset of yellow cards halfway through the season, like in the Premier League.”<\/p>\n
