Harry Kane recently signed a lucrative long-term contract with Bayern Munich, which keeps him at the Allianz Arena until at least June 2029, but he's left the door ajar to a Premier League return.

Harry Kane has left the door ajar to a return to the Premier League ahead of Mauricio Pochettino's long-awaited appointment at Manchester United.

The United States Men's National Team boss looks set to replace Michael Carrick in the dugout at Old Trafford, and he's been backed to lead the Red Devils back to their former glory by the Bayern Munich striker, whom he worked closely with at Tottenham Hotspur for five years.

In an interview with talkSPORT, Kane reflected on his time with Pochettino at White Hart Lane, describing him as an 'incredible manager' who helped him become one of the best strikers in the world.

The England skipper, who featured 242 times for the former Spurs gaffer, scoring 169 goals and providing 27 assists, said: "I can't speak highly enough of him. At a stage in my career, he was massive to my development.

"He took a team that was extremely young and not seen as one of the top teams, to us having back-to-back title races, getting to a Champions League final. He took the club to the highest place it has almost ever been.

"For me, personally, he helped me develop as a player not just on the pitch, but also off the pitch. We built up a really good open relationship.

"It was my first time playing regularly at the highest level; all the demands and pressure that come with that, he was a big help in dealing with that. He's an incredible manager; I think he has proven that over his career, but he's just a great person as well."

Kane added: "I'm sure if it does happen, Man United will have a great coach that will do everything to get them back to the levels that they expect to be at."

The reigning Ballon d'Or winner, who recently signed a lucrative long-term contract which keeps him at the Allianz Arena until at least June 2029, also provided an update on his future.

When asked whether he could return to the Premier League one day, Kane left the door ajar to a potential move. He said: "I’ll be honest, I am really not sure.

"When I think about coming back, it isn’t just about the record (top goalscorer in the Premier League), there are things I haven’t achieved yet. But since I’ve been away, it has really opened my eyes that there is a big old world out there, and I think people are appreciating my game more.

"So, I think it would have to be a perfect situation for me to ever come back, and I can’t see where that would be… One day, anything is possible."
