Thomas Muller laughs off potential Manchester United bid

Thomas Muller has laughed off the suggestion that Manchester United might have to pay even more for his services after the German striker netted a brace on Friday night against Hamburg.

Bayern Munich started off their title defence with a resounding 5-0 victory over the Red Shorts, as Muller helped himself to two goals in the second half.

The Germany international has been linked with a move to the Red Devils, but the 25-year-old laughed off suggestions that his brace will boost his price if Louis van Gaal were to make a bid.

"I don't know, you have to ask [Van Gaal]! I am the wrong man for this question!" Muller said, according to Goal.com.

"It is always nice to get goals and I am happy I could contribute. But I don't want me to be the focus. This was a super performance by the whole team."

United have reportedly made a £50m bid for the Bayern striker but the German club's chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has stated that the player is 'not for sale'.
