England captain Harry Kane dismisses Michael Owen’s criticism of his decision to join Bayern Munich.
Harry Kane has responded to criticism from former England striker Michael Owen regarding his move to Bayern Munich in 2023.
Owen had questioned Kane’s decision, suggesting that winning the Bundesliga wasn’t a significant achievement and that Kane should have stayed in the Premier League to break Alan Shearer’s goal-scoring record.
Kane acknowledged Owen’s comments but emphasized that everyone has different career paths and motivations. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” Kane said, showing respect for Owen as a Premier League and England great. However, Kane made it clear that his decision to join Bayern Munich was driven by his desire to play at the highest level and compete in major tournaments.
The England captain highlighted his satisfaction with his move to Bayern Munich, citing the opportunity to play in big games and Champions League matches. Kane also expressed his happiness with his performances, noting that he’s improving as a player and pushing his limits in terms of goal-scoring. Since joining Bayern Munich, Kane has scored an astonishing 91 goals in 99 appearances for the club.
Former Manchester United player Paul Ince has backed Kane’s decision, arguing that winning a league title with Bayern Munich is a significant achievement. Ince also criticized Owen’s comments, saying they were “talking a load of rubbish” and that Kane is “loving life, scoring goals, and playing well”.
