Thomas Müller has admitted that he genuinely considered joining Manchester United in 2014, revealing an “interesting” offer was put to him to swap Bayern Munich for Old Trafford. It was even, he said, the “right moment” in his career to make such a move.
Had Müller taken the plunge, it would have reshaped the last decade both for United, who slipped further and further away from competing for the biggest honours, and for Bayern, eventually winning 33 trophies by the time of his 2025 exit and topping the latter’s all-time appearance list with 756 games. Müller’s 250 goals also put him third among Bayern’s all-time top scorers.
