Thomas Muller has revealed he turned down an “insane offer” to join Manchester United during Louis van Gaal’s time in charge of the club.
Muller has been a regular name linked with a move to the Premier League over the years, although nothing has ever materialised. The 32-year-old has remained at Bayern Munich throughout his career, and looks likely to end his playing days at the Allianz Arena after recently extending his contract.
The forward has enjoyed a remarkably successful period at Bayern, having surpassed Bastian Schweinsteiger’s record of 26 for the most trophies of a German international. Despite his run of silverware, Muller has come close to leaving the Bavarian giants on a few occasions.
