It's no secret that Louis van Gaal and I have a relationship that goes beyond coaches and players
Muller has previously revealed his admiration for Van Gaal and of the Dutchman's interest.
In May Muller said: "It's no secret that Louis van Gaal and I have a relationship that goes a little beyond the normal relationship between coaches and players."
And in September, he added: "I know there was interest, but Man Utd were interested in a lot of players this summer.
"It never really got anywhere because I had just renewed my contract [until 2019], and Bayern were clear that they saw my future here."
