āHe might win a Ballon dāOrā ā Harry Kane lauded for Bayern Munich move by Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes
TL;DR

When Harry Kane was at Tottenham Hotpsur, no one really understood how good he was. He needed that move to Bayern Munich to raise his profile, to be counted alongside the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian MbappĆ© as one of the best in the world. Or at least thatās what Bruno Fernandes thinks.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, the Manchester United captain said that moving to Germany gave Kane the chance to win a Ballon dāOr.
āIf he had stayed [at Tottenham] another one or two seasons,ā said Fernandes, āheād have been the best goalscorer ever in the Premier League. So, would he have been a legend or not? He would.ā
āHe decided to go to Bayern and the decision is good because he knows he has a big chance of winning trophies,ā he said. āAnd now weāre talking about Harry Kane that is scoring the same amount of goals he was scoring at Tottenham, but he might win a Ballon dāOr now because heās going to win trophies.ā
Of course, Harry Kane still has yet to win the biggest trophies that will stake a claim on the Ballon dāOr for good. But heās at the right club if he wants it to happen. Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany are humming like a finely tuned machine, and big things could happen this season.
