Thomas Müller Hilariously Shuts Down Manchester United Transfer Talk
If there’s one thing Thomas Müller has always done well—aside from scoring goals and lifting trophies—it’s speaking his mind with disarming honesty and wit. Recently, the Bayern Munich legend addressed fresh speculation linking him to a potential move to Manchester United, and his response was, in true Müller fashion, both candid and hilarious.
After a glittering 17-year career at Bayern, during which he racked up over 750 appearances, 250 goals, and 33 major trophies, Müller is finally parting ways with the club this summer. Naturally, with his contract winding down, rumors began swirling about where he might go next. Among the louder whispers was a familiar name—Manchester United.
United, of course, have had long-standing interest in Müller. The links date back to the Louis van Gaal era, when the Dutch manager, who had once coached Müller at Bayern, tried to lure him to Old Trafford. At that time, a transfer might’ve made sense. Müller was in his prime, United were seeking a technically gifted and intelligent attacker, and the chemistry between him and Van Gaal was well-documented. But now, at 35, Müller seems bemused at the thought of finally making the switch.

Speaking to CBS Sports, Müller admitted there was a time he entertained the idea. “Yeah, I thought about it,” he said. “There were some moments I thought it would be nice to experience it.” But then came the kicker—when asked if he’d consider joining United now, he grinned and replied, “Now? No, no. I’m not the right guy for them and they are not the right club for me. They won’t have fun, and I won’t have fun. So that’s not a match!”
It’s a classic Müller answer—humorous, insightful, and with a touch of dry realism. And honestly, he’s not wrong. United are in a rebuilding phase, fresh off one of their worst Premier League seasons ever, and while they’ve already added players like Matheus Cunha and are pursuing others like Bryan Mbeumo, a veteran like Müller doesn’t quite fit into their current blueprint.
That said, Müller isn’t ready to hang up his boots just yet. Though United is off the table, he’s reportedly attracting interest from MLS, as well as clubs like Fiorentina and Fenerbahçe. There’s clearly still demand for his experience, football IQ, and leadership—even if that demand isn’t coming from the red half of Manchester.
In the end, Müller’s comments not only gave fans a good laugh but also showed his deep self-awareness. He knows who he is, what kind of football he wants to play, and more importantly, where he doesn’t belong. It’s that grounded perspective that has made him such a respected figure—not just in Germany, but across the footballing world.
So no, don’t expect to see Müller in a United shirt anytime soon. But wherever he ends up, you can bet he’ll bring the same charm, cheekiness, and class that’s defined his entire career.
