"My mind is solely focused on succeeding this season. As for what will happen in the summer, I will talk to the club and consider my options. Then we will see which way things go."
These recent statements from Thomas Müller, in which he showed his willingness to consider a change of scenery, have been cleverly exploited by The Sun newspaper.
This publication understands that if the player remains uncertain until the end of the season, Manchester United will come across an excellent opportunity to acquire his services. The Red Devils have been pursuing his signing since the time of Louis Van Gaal, but have never been able to accomplish it.
A vital part of Bayern Munich's plans since 2009, the attacker has started accumulating more bench minutes than expected this season (he has started in 11 of the 17 matches played to date), a circumstance that has made him reconsider his future and not think, for now, about extending his contract with the Bavarians. "All parties have to make their arguments. We will see if we can reach an agreement. You just have to compare what all parties want", he stated.
Since his current commitment ends in June 2021, it seems clear that next summer will be the ideal scenario to facilitate his transfer, as the Germans will still be able to obtain some financial benefit from the sale of a player who is already in his thirties.
