Borussia Dortmund captain Mats Hummels played down the reaction of some fans at the Westfalenstadion after the club announced that the defender wants to join Bayern Munich.

Hummels was jeered by sections of the crowd each time he touched the ball on his first appearance for the Westphalians since it was made public that he has asked to return to Bayern this summer.

Dortmund have suggested they could make him see out the final year of his contract, but a banner was held up by a group of Dortmund fans saying he should leave "straight away."

Hummels shrugged it all off after helping his side to a 5-1 win over Wolfsburg that means his likely new employers Bayern have to wait at least another week before being crowned champions.

"They were not the real fans -- they were just a group of about 300 who never really loved me in the first place, and they just used this as a stage to vent their anger,'' Hummels said, according to sport1.de. "I could see who it was coming from."
