Jamal Musiala reveals how 'amazing' Harry Kane helped his game at Bayern Munich - He has so much quality'

Jamal Musiala has told TNT Sports about how the arrival of Harry Kane at Bayern Munich has helped him improve his all-round game.

Kane joined Bayern in a £100 million move from Tottenham in the summer and has hit the ground running.

The England captain is the top scorer in the Bundesliga with 18 goals in just 13 games, and has also provided five assists.

Kane has also shone in the Champions League this season with four goals and will be looking to add to that tally when Bayern face Manchester United on Tuesday, live on TNT Sports.

Asked how much he has learned from Kane ahead of the trip to Old Trafford, Musiala told TNT Sports: “Definitely a lot.

“He takes his finishing very seriously, he has his own routine.

“I always speak to him after games if I miss a chance or something and how I could have done that situation better. He has so much quality to find that pass as well, not just score but assist as well.

“I have learnt to make more runs in behind since playing with him which has helped my game. It’s amazing to have a player like that in your team.”

While Kane is an experienced forward, Musiala is one of the top young prospects in Europe.

He finished second in the voting for this year’s Kopa Trophy – given to players under the age of 21 – behind Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham.

Musiala and Bellingham played together at England youth level and also faced off in the Bundesliga during Bellingham’s time at Borussia Dortmund.

“When he was at Dortmund we always wanted to beat each other,” Musiala added.

“On the pitch we give it our all, we put slide tackles in, we try to dribble past each other, it’s definitely competitive. It’s all friendly in the end, we have a good relationship.

“He is doing amazing at Real Madrid which is really nice to see. We keep in touch here and there. He is a great lad and we are good friends.”

Bayern have already secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League as group winners.

Manchester United need a win at Old Trafford to have a chance of joining the Bundesliga side in the knockout stages.

If United had hoped that Bayern would take their foot off the gas at all with qualification secured, that looks more unlikely after their 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend.

Musiala, who made his return from injury as a substitute in the loss, thinks Bayern will have some extra “fire” at Old Trafford.

“We always want to win even we have qualified already,” he said.

“No matter what happened at the weekend we would try our best to win and keep the unbeaten streak in the group stage, but after the weekend there is a little bit more fire to win this game.”

Reflecting on the shock loss to Frankfurt, which was Bayern’s first of the season in the Bundesliga, Musiala added: “What we could see and when we did the analysis after the game we weren’t 100% there with our effort and everything.

“Against good teams like that you can’t afford to do that because they take advantage. They have most of the second balls and more chances.

“If you are not working very hard and giving 100% effort then games like that can happen. It was a lesson we will learn from it and now we have another opportunity to make it right.”
