      Muller, 34, is struggling for game time at the Allianz Arena this season – especially following Harry Kane’s arrival.
      The likes of Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry and even Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting have also limited his involvement under Thomas Tuchel.
      It means vice-captain Muller has two goals and five assists from 15 appearances this term.
      But those 15 games total just 575 minutes of football and only include six starts.

      Now Lothar Matthaus has encouraged the 126-cap international to move on after 23 years with Bayern for a new venture elsewhere after nearly 700 first-team appearances.
      World Cup-winning captain Mathaus – who left Bayern for New York MetroStars in 2000 – urged Muller to make a similar move.
      He wrote for Sky Sport in Germany: “At Bayern Munich he will no longer get the minutes he got two years ago. If he has the confidence to play from the start like he did two years ago, then he has to change clubs. You have to say that openly.
      “Muller’s situation looks like a gradual decline.

      “As far as Muller’s future at Bayern is concerned, the question is what Thomas wants. Is he content with only being a part-time worker or even not playing at all?
      “Muller is rooted in Munich, but perhaps he can imagine a new life experience, for example in North America?”
      But according to Bild, Erik ten Hag will likely attempt to sign Muller in 2024.
      The Dutchman is a big fan of the experienced forward and reportedly reached out to him last winter over a possible transfer.
      Now he could be prepared to go back in for Muller to bolster his squad.
      Muller is said to be keen to see out his contract which expires at the end of the season – although Tuchel would be open to him signing an extension to stay put.
      Matthaus added: “If Thomas is satisfied that he will only be used now and then and the club communicates this clearly to the outside world, it is okay for all parties.”

      Seeing links with Muller, some United fans were unimpressed.

      While a second fumed: “These are signings should have made in the previous decade.”
      A third blasted: “In a team that has no physicality or energy, Erik wanted to sign a player who’s legs have gone? Luckily transfers wont be in his hands soon.”
      Another added: “Just need to purchase a good walking stick.”
      Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to take over football operations at United when he completes his imminent 25 per cent partial takeover.

      He has played as a centre-back, left-back and right-back since the start of the campaign, providing cover for Oleksandr Zinchenko and the injured Jurrien Timber.
      And his impressive form has seen him attract interest from one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
      According to transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich are considering a bid for Tomiyasu.
      The Bundesliga giants are interested in the defender because he can play as a centre-back and a full-back.

      A January transfer is understood to be unrealistic as the Japan international is set to appear at the Asian Cup.
      However, Bayern are expected to continue monitoring him until the summer window opens.
      The prospect of Tomiyasu leaving has left a number of Arsenal fans nervous, with one person tweeting: “Very very interesting. But we need him at Arsenal.”
      Another added: “With all due respect, they should look elsewhere. Tomi is not for sale.”

      The full-back struggled with a knee injury last season and was stuck on the sidelines for several months after undergoing surgery.

      Man City ‘considering shock transfer for former player sold by Pep Guardiola but face competition from Liverpool’

      Sane, 27, has been in excellent form for Bayern this season and has benefited in particular from the arrival of Harry Kane.
      The winger has eight goals and six assists in 11 Bundesliga games this season.
      His contract is up in 2025, meaning Bayern may look to cash in by selling in the upcoming summer window.
      Sane’s transfer to Bayern in 2020 took many by surprise, with the winger then being one of the Premier League’s finest young talents.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Bayern paid £54.1 million for the German international with many saying that it was an argument with Pep Guardiola that convinced the club to sell.
      Sane had also missed much of the 2019-20 season with a knee injury before making his transfer.
      While Sane is being linked with Liverpool and Manchester City, Bild do report that he is in negotiations to renew his contract at Bayern – so this could be a ploy for a bigger payout on that particular deal.
      Liverpool are quite stacked in the wing position as it stands.

      The Reds have Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz that all play in the position with Cody Gakpo sometimes operating off the left too.
      Sane could definitely be an option if Salah were to leave next summer for Saudi Arabia.
      The Reds had their resolve tested when the Saudi Pro League offered £150million in the closing stages of the transfer window but remained firm.
      But with Liverpool now firmly aware of Saudi’s interest, a move for Sane could be part of their contingency plans should Salah leave. More

      Real Madrid had been favourites to land the striker in June but his astronomical salary of £30m per year, his recent performances and the club’s “financial issues” have led to doubts.
      According to Foot Mercato, Real’s hesitations have led to Liverpool as well as Bayern considering a serious bid for the 24-year-old.
      The Reds have been keeping an eye on the France international since 2017 when he joined PSG initially on loan from Monaco before his permanent move a year later.
      The Merseysiders’ manager Jurgen Klopp even met for talks with Mbappe before his move to Parc des Princes.

      The versatile forward confirmed there were talks with the Premier League giants six years ago and they had a “greater chance” of signing him.
      Mbappe said last year: “We talked a little bit, but not too much. We talked a little bit.
      “I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool. I don’t know why, you will have to ask her!

      “It’s a good club and we met them five years ago. When I was in Monaco I met them. It’s a big club.”
      According to Sport 1, Bayern are also ready to join the bidding war for Mbappe.
      The German champions hold a “serious” interest for the 2018 World Cup winner even though they understand how “complicated” a potential deal could turn out to be. More

      Harry Kane continues stunning Bayern start with two goals vs Galatasaray as Germans move into Champions League knockouts

      by

      UNSTOPPABLE Harry Kane showed why he is the best striker in Europe as he sent Bayern Munich into the Champions League last 16.Germany’s favourite Englishman has an astonishing 19 goals in 15 club matches thanks to a superb six-minute brace that broke the hearts of Galatasaray.

      The first was a header from a Joshua Kimmich free-kick that was initially deemed to be offside by an assistant referee – until that on-field decision was overruled by the VAR technician.
      Then the ex-Tottenham talisman, 30, cemented Munich’s position at the top of Group A with a composed tap-in on 86 minutes from substitute Mathys Tel’s low cross.
      That is now 25 Champions League goals in his stellar career and continued his hot streak since moving from North London to Bavaria.
      Yet had it not been for those two goals, this would have gone down as a frustrating evening’s work for Kane, who had an early shot saved by Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.

      And on 53 minutes, Kane’s effort at full stretch – following a delightful cross by Kingsley Coman that was headed on by midfielder Leon Goretzka – bounced off a post.
      Galatasaray had their chances and were frustrated that former Arsenal star Lucas Torreira’s ‘goal’ was chalked off with Argentine forward Mauro Icardi deemed to be offside.
      They did score in the third minute of stoppage time through Cedric Bakambu but it was all too little too late.
      The only Englishmen to have scored more than Harry Kane’s 25 Champions League goals are Wayne Rooney on 30 and Raheem Sterling on 27.

      Kane said: “It was a tough game. We expected another tough game. The away leg was very similar.
      “I thought we controlled the game better this time. Especially in the first half.
      “We got into the final third in transition but we just lacked the final pass or final finish. We knew in the second half we just had keep that momentum.
      “There’s always a lot that goes into the transfer, on and off the field.
      “So of course there’s always a bit more pressure and expectation but I’ve been delighted with the start obviously.
      “It’s down to the team, too. The team are playing really well and I’ve got amazing players around me to set me up and give me chances.”
