With the cracks appearing in his relationship with Pep Guardiola, Thomas Muller could team back up with Louis van Gaal.

Muller dropped a massive hint that he may be looking for a transfer to Old Trafford this summer, judging by quotes printed in the Mirror.

The forward’s relationship with Guardiola has been called into question after the pair became involved in a touchline bust-up after Muller was substituted during Bayern Munich’s 3-0 Champions League annihilation by Barcelona. The incident raised doubts over Muller’s future at the club.

Should he decide to leave the Bundesliga, Old Trafford may be a likely destination for Muller. The World Cup winner admitted he had a close bond with United boss Louis van Gaal, who gave him his debut at Bayern Munich, which could indicate that he is considering a move to Manchester.

“It’s a secret for nobody,” Muller said.

“Louis van Gaal and I have a relationship that goes beyond that which is normal between a player and a coach. However, I have a contract with Bayern until 2017.”

Arsenal have reportedly sent scouts to watch Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk and are readying a £10million transfer bid, so the Express are claiming.

Arsene Wenger has apparently been impressed with the Dutch centre-back’s performances this season and believes he could add some depth to their defence.

The former Dutch under-21 star is set to leave Celtic this summer and London might be his likely destination. Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on the centre-half but Arsenal remain firm favourites to land the player.
