Manchester United urged to 'stop sending in offers' for Bayern Munich star

MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly been told to back off from Thomas Muller.

The Red Devils were continually linked with a move for the Bayern Munich striker over the summer.

Louis van Gaal's side were believed to have offered £71million for the 26-year-old.

But according to Bild, United have been informed they will be wasting their time putting in offers for Muller.

The paper chief football writer, Christian Falk, tweeted: "Rummenigge, @FCBayern: "I told Woodward, that I can't switch of my Email-account, so he should stop sending offers for @esmuellert_" @ManUtd."

United ended up signing Anthony Martial for £36m in the summer instead.

But Muller, who has scored eight goals in 10 matches for Bayern this term, appears to be out of reach.
