Manchester United were heavily linked with a move for Bayern forward Muller during Louis van Gaal’s time in charge.

The Dutchman gave Muller his Bayern debut when in the Allianz Arena hotseat and the 27-year-old has since established himself as one of the best players in world football.

A move to Manchester United failed to materialise in 2015 when talk was at its paramount.

And the Germany international has revealed he did think about linking up with Van Gaal once again - but Bayern’s support was enough for him to stay put.

"There was a stage when the subject arose two years ago when I considered it, but then the club immediately backed me and I was told I belong here,” he told German magazine Kicker.
