And Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel claims ex-Spurs striker Kane is desperate to plunge Manchester United deeper into crisis.
Tuchel said: “Yes, for him 100 per cent. He is a winner — he is a champion.
“It’s nice to go back to England and to Old Trafford. Harry will love it I think and is looking forward to it.
“Harry is a top pro and a fantastic guy who has adjusted very well to life in Germany.”
United must beat Bayern, who have qualified top of Group A — and pray FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray draw to reach the Champions League last 16.
Ten Hag’s strugglers are already on the ropes after Saturday’s 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth.
The Red Devils are ten points off Prem leaders Liverpool, bottom of their Euro group and already out of the Carabao Cup.
Under-fire boss Ten Hag has the daunting prospect of trying to stop Kane — a summer transfer target for United.

He will be pumped up to get back in the goals and pile on the misery for his old Premier League rivals.
Kane had a rare off-day on Saturday as he failed to add to his record-breaking 22-goal haul in his debut season with the German giants.
Tuchel says Kane is happy in Germany following his £104million move from Spurs in August. Ex-Chelsea manager Tuchel added: “Life in Munich is a good life.
“He is fluent in German! Munich is a safe city — a beautiful city.
“We have a lot of nature and a lot of golf courses for Harry when he has some time off.
“And everybody speaks English, which is good for him, that helps him a lot.”
Tuchel refused to blame Kane, who admitted the performance “wasn’t good enough,” for Bayern’s shocking Bundesliga loss to Frankfurt.
Tuchel said: “We could not bring the balls up to him and normally he is very strong.”
Bayern will be without attacker Serge Gnabry after the ex-Arsenal star picked up a tendon injury.
Gnabry, who has already missed games due to a hip injury and fractured arm earlier this season, came on in the 66th minute on Saturday but limped off five minutes later.
