ERIK TEN HAG insists he got it right in landing Rasmus Hojlund rather than pursuing Harry Kane.

Spurs record striker Kane is heading to Bayern Munich after months of negotiations with the Bundesliga club.

Erik ten Hag is happy with the arrival of Rasmus Hojlund

Man United had been interested in Harry Kane

But Manchester United withdrew early because it didn’t want to engage in protracted talks with Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham.

Additionally, they recoiled at what they believed to be wage demands of £577,000 per week.

So they acquired Serie A team Atalanta’s 20-year-old Dane Hojlund in a £72 million deal.

And while the player will miss the start of the season due to a slight injury, manager Ten Hag is happy with the business he has done.

Ten Hag said: “First of all, we have chosen a striker and we are really happy with our choice.

“He’s a great striker, clear, a goal maker and apart from that he has all the conditions and abilities that you want to see in a striker.”

But Ten Hag is not happy that Kane is leaving English football.

He said: “It’s a miss for the Premier League, absolutely.

“We want to challenge and play the best.”

Asked how far down the line they got with Kane, Ten Hag said: “I don’t think that I have to go into that discussion or give an opinion about that.

“We are professional, the processes we do are really careful, we consider a lot of things but finally we make decisions, not overnight, we study every decision behind, we are happy with the squad we have behind us now.”

On Monday night, Man United will open their campaign against a Wolves team that is in shambles following the resignation of manager Julen Lopetegui.

Ten Hag thinks that the Red Devils have had the best preseason preparation in comparison.

He said: “We had a very good pre-season, our fitness levels are very good, we are on really good levels and I think also our performance levels during pre-season were on a high level.

“We are very confident. We are ready to go for the fight, the team is really energetic and we worked really good for pre-season and we go for it.”
