Man Utd and co already received clear message from ‘unhappy’ Bayern star Thomas Muller | Football | Sport

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller has already hinted at the idea of ​​a switch to the Premier League after being linked with Manchester United in recent years. The 34-year-old has remained at Bayern throughout his professional career but is thought to be growing frustrated at the Allianz Arena after being reduced to a bit of a part-time player.

Muller has started just four Bundesliga games since the start of the season and was left as an unused substitute in Bayern’s draw with RB Leipzig back in September. He is not ‘100 per cent happy’ with his playing time under Thomas Tuchel, according to him Kickand Jamal Musiala often gets the nod to start Muller behind lone striker Harry Kane.

The veteran forward is only contracted to Bayern until the end of the current campaign, meaning he will be able to leave for free if he wants to take on a new challenge next summer. He had previously been linked with a possible move to United and several others in the Premier League, although nothing ever materialised.

The report says Bayern are confident of renewing Muller’s contract for at least another year, with the player saying he will ‘understand’ why he is no longer a definite starter. However, he has already warned that he would be in no mood to leave if the right opportunity presented itself.

He told The Rising: “I am not settled with this club. I have a special relationship, I loved Bayern before I started playing for them, but when there is a situation where you have to decide maybe to play for another club would not be no shame. and no problem.”

Faced with the idea of ​​a move to the Premier League, Muller said: “I like it. But some cultures, speaking and such, special dialect, I don’t understand everything. Newcastle? Ah, I don’t know.”

It remains to be seen whether United or any other Premier League side would be interested in signing Muller next season, with his leadership qualities able to offer additional stability in any dressing room. The Red Devils saw a lucrative bid rejected during Jose Mourinho’s time in charge, as Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen revealed in 2017.

“There really was something like that,” Dreeson told German media when asked about United’s offer, which was said to be around £85 million. “Then a fax came from England. For us, however, the sale of Thomas Muller was never discussed. If a player suited us, we would be foolish to give him a short-term prospect of a record profit and weaken him.”

Muller, meanwhile, explained last year that United saw another bid rejected when Louis van Gaal was in the dugout at Old Trafford. He told Mercury: “Bayern obviously rejected the whole thing despite this crazy offer from United, [it was a] A huge vote of confidence from Bayern.”
