Don't Listen To Wikipedia. Thomas-Muller-to-Man-U Saga Isn't Over Yet.
Thomas Muller has been one of the key players behind Bayern Munich’s success in recent years, as well as the German National Team which won the last World Cup in 2014.

There is a very real possibility that Manchester United could sign a striker, according to Louis van Gaal.
Ironically, after a season in which the Red Devils’ strike corp was arguably its most talented set of players, they find themselves with a dearth of midfield options, a bolstered defense, and only one proven senior striker: Wayne Rooney (Apologies to Javier Hernandez).
Many think that the team needs to buy another striker, and van Gaal has not ruled out more spending, although he didn’t say specifically what positions further spending would increase.
Since 2003 Real Madrid and Manchester United have swapped six players between each other. The total value of those transfers? 167 million pounds.
The first of these incredible splurges? Fittingly a big one for passionate fans of United: David Beckham.
In July 2003, David Beckham completed his 25 million pound move from Manchester United to Real Madrid. The circumstances leading up to the transfer make for an Old Trafford legend.
Jasper Cillessen, the number one keeper for AFC Ajax, is the man on the radar for Van Gaal and the Manchester United Red Devils. The revolving door of keeper transfers this summer between Porto, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and AFC Ajax seems to leave many speculating as to which goalkeeper will go where. As of now, according to the Sun, Manchester has given Real Madrid till Monday to complete the deal for keeper de Gea. The Red Devils are set to tour the U.S. this summer and would like a concrete offer from Real.
Wayne Rooney has admitted he's considering a move stateside after he's finished at Manchester United.
Rooney, 29, still has a few years left on his United contract, but he's already thinking about what comes next in his career.
“When that time comes, that’ll be something I’d think about. (I’ll) sit down with my wife and children and decide if it would be right for me,” Rooney told the Seattle Times.
The status of David De Gea’s future at United is still up in the air, and Louis van Gaal is in a difficult posisiotn because of it. Previously, former Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes, who has played second fiddle to De Gea, was expected to take over should his compatriot leave for Spain. However, Valdes and van Gaal have butted heads and the keeper's place on the team seems to be all but gone.
The draw of Louis van Gaal is apparently as strong as ever, according to new Manchester United signing Memphis Depay.
In a summer that has seen Manchester United run rampant with player acquisitions, the one that started it all has detailed what set Manchester United apart from the other teams vying for his signature.
If Raheem Sterling’s on-field success in a Manchester City kit still remains to be seen, then his aptitude in interviews seems to be coming along nicely.
Having recently completed a £49 million move from Liverpool, one that was surrounded with controversy in the media and nastiness from fans, Sterling has come out and declared Sergio Aguero on par with Luis Suarez.
Franz Beckenbauer, a legendary player and Bayern Munich's honorary president, has said that now-departed midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger would be better off if he had transferred to Major League Soccer instead of Manchester United.
Schweinsteiger, who is set to become the first German to appear for Manchester United, will have to prove himself all over again in the premier league, Beckenbauer said.
It appears Robin van Persie is leaving the EPL for a move to Turkish club Fenerbahce. Van Persie's agent, Kees Vos, spent two days in Istanbul with the Turkish club negotiating a fair deal for the Dutch striker.
