Man Utd left with £84m transfer regret after Louis van Gaal failed to land target twice

Manchester United have been given another untimely reminder of what could have been after Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller penned a new contract extension at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday.

Muller is one of the most decorated footballers in history and might well have been continuing that winning run with United had Louis van Gaal twice got his wish of signing the forward.

The 32-year-old has won the most trophies of any other German international in the history of the game having surpassed Bastian Schweinsteiger ’s record of 26. Now, with the Bayern man having committed his future to the Bavarian giants with a new deal until the summer of 2024, it will no doubt bring a few solemn memories back for the Red Devils after their failure of bringing him to Old Trafford.
