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.”
