The Independent reported earlier this year that Bayern had entered into intensive extension talks with Kane, whose current contract runs until June 2027.<\/p>\n<p>His extraordinary goalscoring record in Germany explains why Bayern are determined to avoid losing control of his future.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United need to stay in the loop without building their entire transfer plan around Kane. He will provide the purpose, leadership and immediate authority needed to improve a developing team.<\/p>\n<p>But United cannot afford to wait too long for a move that may never be realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Bayern are confident and competition from Madrid, Barcelona and Tottenham will be huge money.<\/p>\n<p>If Kane is indeed available, United should take decisive action.
