While he will not be on the pitch in Bilbao, the England captain made it clear he will be keeping a close eye on Wednesday\u2019s clash, rooting for his former teammates as they chase European glory.<\/p>\n<p>The final presents a major opportunity for Tottenham, who have not won a trophy since their League Cup triumph in 2008. Despite Manchester United being seen as slight favourites due to their experience in major finals, Kane believes the north London club has every chance to come out on top.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <em>Sky Sports<\/em>, Kane offered a message of support and optimism for the team he spent nearly two decades with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough season obviously for Tottenham in the league,\u201d he said. \u201cBut this final gives them a real chance to turn things around and make it one of the most memorable seasons in recent history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bayern striker added that his bond with the club remains strong, despite moving on to Germany last summer. \u201cI still have a lot of friends there \u2013 among the players and the staff \u2013 and I know how much this opportunity means to them. It means a lot to the fans too. They\u2019ve been waiting for a moment like this for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging the threat posed by Manchester United, Kane admitted the Red Devils have more experience in high-stakes matches but insisted Tottenham are more than capable of upsetting the odds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinals are always tough,\u201d he continued. \u201cUnited might have a bit more experience in these kinds of games, but Tottenham have shown throughout the season that they can rise to any challenge. They absolutely deserve to be in this final, and on their day, they can beat anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for his own plans on matchday, Kane revealed he won\u2019t be in attendance but will still be closely following the action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be away with my wife somewhere relaxing,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I\u2019ll definitely be keeping an eye on the game. I really hope the lads can get the job done \u2013 I wish them all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the footballing world watching, and Kane cheering from afar, Tottenham\u2019s bid to finally end their trophy drought takes centre stage in Bilbao \u2013 a night that could redefine the club\u2019s modern history.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harry Kane Shares His Thoughts on Tottenham\u2019s Europa League Final Against Manchester United<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":62895,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
