Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are “really happy” with their striker choice despite Harry Kane leaving Tottenham.
The England captain has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford and was serenaded by United fans last season.
Tottenham were not prepared to sell their leading goalscorer to a Premier League rival and have instead accepted an offer worth more than £86.4m up front from Bayern Munich.

Kane is expected to fly to Germany to undergo a medical ahead of signing a four-year contract with the Bundesliga champions.
United, meanwhile, have signed Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in a deal worth £72m.
While the Denmark international is not as established as England’s all-time top scorer, ten Hag insists United are excited about his potential.
"First of all, we have chosen a striker and we are really happy with our choice,” said the Dutchman on Friday.
“He’s [Kane] a great striker, clear, a goal maker and apart from that he has all the conditions and abilities what you want to see in a striker. It’s a miss for the Premier League, absolutely.
“We want to challenge and play the best. I don’t think that I have to go into that discussion [about why United didn’t sign Kane] 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."
