Muller has been repeatedly linked with a move to United

Lahm: Manchester United target Muller not guaranteed to stay at Bayern Munich

Manchester United fans will like what Lahm had to say.

BAYERN MUNICH CAPTAIN Philipp Lahm accepts that there are no guarantees that Thomas Muller will stay at the club amid links to Manchester United.

Reports in the German media have suggested that the Premier League side are preparing a second raid on the Bundesliga champions after securing the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger earlier in July, with a fee of as much as €100m being quoted for the German World Cup winner.

Full-back Lahm offered no assurances to Bayern’s supporters that his fellow Germany World Cup winner would not follow Schweinsteiger to Old Trafford, where he would be reunited with former Bayern boss Louis van Gaal.

“In football you can imagine everything,” he told reporters. “It’s not my decision. In football, it goes so, so quickly.
“It’s not always only up to the player. There are clubs who get players, players go. In football everything goes very, very quickly. I think you can never give a guarantee that it will work like this or like that.

“As a result, I certainly can’t give any guarantee for Thomas Muller or talk about whether I can imagine [him leaving]. You can always imagine anything happening.”

    The LVG factor is huge, players he managed before genuinely seem to have lots of respect for him. I’m really impressed with the squad he is assembling. Mueller is definitely a 20+ goal a season player.

    Favourites never I’d have them 4th fav maybe joint 3rd with Arsenal.. Bookies have them at11/2 isn’t bad to be fair but I wouldn’t be taking that.. I’d fancy 20/1 on Rooney on leading scorer considering he won’t be played in midfield this season.

    10 goals in 2 world cups and he’s only 25 suggests otherwise.

    This “Muller to utd ” story is pure comedy gold . Lvg must have a great sense of humour in fairness to him !!! , I’d say even muller and his bayern teammates have a right skit about that story during training !!!!
