When Manchester United arrive in north London next Saturday afternoon, they are likely to encounter a very sombre and muted atmosphere in and around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
United's latest visit to the capital will mark Spurs' first home game after life without Harry Kane. Despite taking up residency at the top of Erik ten Hag's transfer wish list, the England captain sealed a move to German heavyweights Bayern Munich yesterday, bringing his long-term association with his boyhood club to an end.
With his contract up at the end of this season, Spurs had no choice, albeit reluctantly, to cash-in, even if Daniel Levy was never going to sell the England captain to another Premier League club.
Levy now has the impossible challenge of finding an ideal replacement. Though Kane's exit will leave a massive hole needing to be filled, United's visit to the white corner of north London will mark new boss Ange Postecoglou's first home game in charge.
