Harry Kane was in action for Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The former Arsenal star suggested that the England international striker did not get the service needed to make an impact for Spurs against United in the Premier League game at Old Trafford on Thursday evening.
Merson said about Kane on Sky Sports Main Event (9:14pm, December 4, 2019): “He has not been good, he has not been good tonight at all.
“He hasn’t really had the service, let’s be honest, Man United have been the far better team, and I just don’t think people have got the ball up to him.”
Disappointing performance
Kane is one of the best strikers in the world, but against United, the 26-year-old failed to do much of note.
According to WhoScored, the Englishman took two shots which were not on target, had a pass accuracy of 61.3%, won three headers, took 43 touches, and attempted two dribbles,
Bouncing back
Tottenham headed into the match against United high on confidence, and manager Jose Mourinho will have been looking forward to winning against his former club.
However, Spurs were very disappointing, and United deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.
The North London outfit will be hoping to bounce back from the loss with a win against Burnley at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
