Harry Kane and Bayern Munich pals train before Man Utd clash in all-white gear as fans say ‘are they playing cricket?’
FANS were in stitches as Harry Kane and his Bayern Munich team-mates appeared to have confused their Old Traffords tonight.
The Bundesliga giants are in England preparing to face Manchester United in the Champions League tomorrow.

The Germans have already secured top spot in Group A – while the Red Devils know nothing else but a win will do if they are to join them in the knockouts.
Despite qualification assured, Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel has resisted the temptation to leave some of his big names at home for the trip to the North West.
However, as they trained at the Theatre of Dreams this evening, they looked more like a cricket team rather than potential European champions.
The whole squad was decked out in full white training attire for the workout, leaving some fans claiming that they would have been more at home just under a mile away at the city’s Old Trafford cricket ground.
As footage and snaps of Kane and the others spread on social media, one response asked: “Are they playing cricket?”
A fellow supporter wrote: “Didn’t know they had a cricket team.”
While another even joked: “Are they sponsored by Daz?”
Meanwhile, some fans could be forgiven for worrying that Bayern could rack up a cricket score after watching United’s dismal 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday.

And Kane will certainly be looking to put on a show and add to his stunning record of 22 goals in 19 appearances.
United know they must win tomorrow and hope FC Copenhagen draw with Galatasaray in order to advance out of the group.
They have tasted victory just once out of their five Champions League matches so far this term – but manager Erik ten Hag insists they can “beat any opponent”.
He said: “We are not consistent but we have good performances.
“If we are in the right spirit, we are able to beat any opponent.”
A draw against Bayern, who suffered a shock 5-1 thrashing by Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend, would see United finish third and enter the Europa League group stage should Galatasaray and Copenhagen’s match not end in a draw.
