Mueller turned down 'astronomical' Man Utd offer

Mueller was one of the stars of the World Cup in Brazil, scoring five goals and claiming three assists as Germany won the trophy, and the brilliant forward unsurprisingly attracted attention from rival clubs.

United were reportedly one of the interested parties, with new manager Louis van Gaal giving the then 19-year-old Mueller his debut at Bayern at the start of the 2009-10 season.

However, Mueller says he never had any intention of leaving Bayern.

When asked whether United offered him millions more to leave the Allianz Arena, he told Sport Bild: “I knew that I would have earned more money.

“The sums from other clubs which circulated had been astronomical.

“I can just say: a transfer for me was never an option. FC Bayern is my club.”
