Thomas Muller thought about joining Manchester United

The German international gave United's offer a serious thought and was close to saying yes to the Red Devils. But Muller has now revealed in an interview with Kicker that a meeting with the Bayern Munich club officials changed his mind. Muller said, "There was a point, two years ago, when this was an issue, when I thought about it. But the club immediately supported me and they told me I belong here. When Bayern told me they needed me and how I am an important player, I did not have to think that much anymore."
