Harry Kane has revealed there were "talks between a few clubs" when asked about summer interest from Manchester United but said he is "glad" he chose Bayern Munich.

Kane left Tottenham in a 100 million ($124m) move and will come up against United in the Champions League at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.

United never got as far as bidding for the England captain -- despite interest from manager Erik ten Hag -- and instead signed Denmark striker Rasmus Hjlund but Kane has confirmed there was other interest alongside that of the German champions.

"Obviously over the summer I know there were some talks between a few clubs in the background, but Bayern was a team I was really interested by and really excited by so there weren't many other discussions," Kane told a news conference in Munich on Tuesday.

"Once they came in, it was between them and Tottenham to talk and the deal got done. My focus is on here, obviously Manchester United are a great club, a really big club as well but I decided to come here and I'm really happy I have."
