Thomas Muller: 'Louis van Gaal has not contacted me over Manchester United move'

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller has denied that he has been in contact with Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal amid rumours of a move to Old Trafford.

Speculation is rife that the Red Devils are willing to splash out £71m in order to sign the attacker, who is reportedly interested in such a switch.

It was reported in Germany that the Dutchman - who worked alongside Muller for two years in Munich - had touched base with his former player, but the 25-year-old rubbishes those claims.

"Louis Van Gaal hasn't called me, so I don't know about any move," the German told reporters after scoring two goals in a 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen today.

Muller is contracted to the Allianz Arena club until 2019.
