**London, England** – Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has raised concerns about Harry Kane’s future as England captain, suggesting his recent international performances mark “the beginning of the end” for the striker. Scholes’ comments, made on the “Stick to Football” show, follow Kane’s appearances during the recent international break where he came on as a substitute against Greece and, while scoring against Ireland, appeared to struggle with the pace of the game.

Despite Kane’s impressive goal-scoring record – including 69 goals for England and 17 for Bayern Munich this season – Scholes believes the 31-year-old looked “out of place” and that his age is catching up with him. This view was countered by Roy Keane, who pointed out Kane’s relatively young age. Scholes responded by comparing Kane’s apparent decline to that of Alan Shearer towards the end of his career.

Kane himself remains confident, however, telling Sky Sports that he feels he’s performing at the highest level of his career and is not considering the upcoming 2026 World Cup as his swansong.

The debate highlights a potential turning point in Kane’s international career, sparking discussion about his long-term future with the Three Lions.
