RALF RANGNICK has claimed that Harry Kane should never have been bought by Bayern Munich.
The England captain joined the Bundesliga giants in 2023 in a stunning £104million deal from Tottenham Hotspur.

Kane, 31, has been a huge hit in Germany and has taken his goalscoring to a new level.
The striker has already notched 83 goals in just 93 appearances for Bayern in all competitions.
He has also added 26 assists, meaning he has contributed towards a goal more than once every 90 minutes on average.
Kane went trophyless in his first season at the club but won the Bundesliga title last season – the first major honour of his career.
Despite his impressive record, former Manchester United manager Rangnick does not think the transfer should have happened.
The Austrian has suggested that Bayern made the wrong move buying the prolific forward as it was not “sensible”.
He told Sport: “If I were the club owner or sporting director, I would only try to sign young players and invest in them.
“Because no matter how you look at it, it’s the only sensible thing to do.

“They’ll never get the money back. And if you’re unlucky, the player won’t even be of any use after one or two years.
“With an investment like that, you can only use part of the money in the first three years at most.”
Rangnick went as far to suggest that the transfer was comparable to betting on a roulette table.
He added: “It’s like a bet or a visit to the casino where I bet 130million on red or white.
“I know I’m exaggerating a bit, but you know what I mean.”
Rangnick, 66, managed Man United in an interim basis during the second half of the 2021/22 season.
He left Old Trafford in 2022 after the club decided to part ways with him.
He is now the manager of the Austrian international team.
Meanwhile, Kane recently helped break Boca Juniors’ hearts at the Club World Cup.
He netted in the 2-1 victory which has left the Argentine side on the cusp of being eliminated from the tournament.
