Thomas Tuchel has confirmed Harry Kane will play against Manchester United tomorrow.

Bayern Munich have already secured top spot in Champions League Group A with four wins out of five but their star striker is set to take to the field at Old Trafford, where the Red Devils need a victory to stand any chance of qualification.

Kane has scored 22 goals in all competitions this season since joining from Tottenham in the summer, including a penalty in the reverse fixture.

Tuchel said: "Every fan wants Harry to play in their team.

"We're very proud we were able to sign Harry.

"He's a great character and a great role model, a terrific player. He scores a lot of goals and will be very happy to play here tomorrow.

"It's a great story that we were able to bring the England captain, your centre forward, to Germany."

United go into the match on the back of a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth, with Erik ten Hag's side booed by their own fans at full-time.

But Tuchel says tomorrow's hosts are still a dangerous outfit as his side look to extend a 39-game unbeaten run in Champions League group fixtures.

The Bayern boss added: "They're always a dangerous team, they have a certain aura about them.

"It's part of the club's DNA that they can survive difficult moments. They have ups and downs in their game, but they've conceded a lot of goals recently. 

"In strong moments, you can see what they're really capable of. The stadium creates special moments. It will be a big challenge for us."

Tuchel was also eager to stress Bayern will give their all at Old Trafford, particularly after a 0-0 draw with FC Copenhagen last time out.

He said: "When you sign for Bayern or United, you sign to give 100% every day.

"We have high expectations, even if we are always under pressure. United will give everything tomorrow to get through.

"But we expect a top performance from us. I hope we can match United's enthusiasm and energy, which I'm sure they'll bring to the game."
