Manchester United have made a £60m bid for Bayern Munich striker Thomas Muller, according to reports in Germany.

Sport Bild are reporting United have offered the German champions €85m - nearly £60m - for the forward.

Louis van Gaal has insisted signing a striker before the transfer deadline is not 'a priority' despite being left with just Wayne Rooney, James Wilson and Javier Hernandez after the departures of Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie.

There were reports over the weekend Muller has told friends he would welcome a move to Old Trafford.

But speaking after the sale of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Bayern CEO Karl-Heinze Rummenigge insisted Muller wouldn't be following his international team-mate.

He said: "I can calm all the worries of all Bayern supporters. We will not let another player leave for Manchester United."
