Manchester United fans have taken to Twitter to express their delight that Harry Kane will miss their clash against Tottenham on Saturday due to injury.
The England striker underwent an assessment earlier this week on the injury which he suffered during Spurs’ 4-1 Premier League win over Liverpool last Sunday.
Spurs confirmed on their official Twitter account on Friday morning that he has a minor strain to his left hamstring.

Kane will leave an enormous hole to fill in the Tottenham team given his goalscoring exploits and stunning recent form.
The England international netted a brace against Liverpool last weekend to take his tally for the campaign to 13 goals from 12 matches in all competitions.
United fans are delighted that their title-challenging side will not have to face the winners of the Premier League golden boot in the last two seasons.

I see Harry Kane has bottled playing in tomorrow’s game. It’s because he knows Bailly is back & wouldn’t get past him #thfc #mufc
