England defender Harry Maguire has labeled Harry Kane as the best striker in the world right now.

Kane, who is England captain, has been enjoying an outstanding season for Bayern Munich.

However, he could have been playing with Maguire for Manchester United, had the Old Trafford club bid for him.

“For me, he's the best striker in the world. When he's not on the pitch, we miss him. He's our captain, he's our leader and he has been since I've been here," Maguire said post-match after England drew with North Macedonia.

“He's an important player, of course, he's our goalscorer. I've always said about Harry that he's one of the best strikers in the world and he's proved it now for eight or ten years however long he's played at Spurs.

“Now he's gone to Bayern and is doing what he does - score goals, he's a magnificent person, a big leader as well. He's a threat for every defense and he played really well when we played them at their place and if we're going to beat them at Old Trafford then keeping him quiet is an important job to do.

“I knew when he went to Germany, any club which signed him in the summer, he would score goals, that's what he does. He scores goals, he does it day in and day out in training, he's a nightmare to play against and can put the ball in the back of the net from any angle."
