KARL-HEINZ RUMMENIGGE says Bayern Munich never had any intention to sell Thomas Muller and suggested Manchester United are wasting their time in making enquiries.
Muller was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in the close-season after another impressive season with Bayern but remained part of Pep Guardiola’s squad.
The Germany international also signed a new deal at the Allianz Arena last year, which will keep him under contract until 2019.
And, speaking after Muller’s brace helped inspire Sunday’s 5-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, Rummenigge told his United counterparts to stop e-mailing him about the forward.
“I am not a banker. We are a football club,” he is quoted by Sport1.
“That is why we never even considered selling Thomas Muller.
“I told my colleagues at Manchester United: ‘I cannot close down my email account, but you no longer need to send me anything. It is useless.’”
Serious animal it’ll be some horse (or hurdle) to stop him winning the Supreme if fit.
