Harry Kane to lose a team-mate? Bayern Munich legend Thomas Muller urged to leave Germany with Erik ten Hag keen to sign veteran for Man Utd

The 2014 World Cup winner has slipped down the pecking order at Allianz Arena, particularly with the arrival of Kane. Moreover, competition from other players like Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has made it difficult for him to be a regular. This has prompted Lothar Matthaus, a World Cup-winning captain, to suggest Muller consider a move away from Germany which would see Kane lose <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-names-bayern-munich-player-who-took-him-under-his-wing-thomas-muller/blt587d1671189b7461" target="_blank">one of his closest friends in the Bayern dressing room</a>. Matthaus even touted the MLS as a potential destination for Muller where he could unite with former Uefa Champions League rival Lionel Messi.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Writing for Sky Germany, Matthaus said: "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?"

WHAT MATTHAUS SAID ABOUT MULLER

According to<a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/bayern-muenchen/fc-bayern-lothar-matthaeus-legt-sich-fest-thomas-mueller-muss-gehen-wenn-86243730.bild.html" target="_blank"> Bild</a>, Ten Hag is an admirer of Muller and would want him at his disposal at Old Trafford in 2024. The Dutch manager wanted to get him in the previous winter but could not thrash out a deal for the striker. However, this time the winds are in his favour as Muller's contract is expiring at the end of the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United are struggling for goals as Marcus Rashford has been just a shadow of his former self and Rasmus Hojlund is bizarrely yet to find the net in the Premier League after 651 minutes of action. The Red Devils had been linked with a move for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/victor-osimhen-top-chelsea-transfer-wishlist-maurico-pochettino-eyes-gbp100m-napoli-star-solve-no-9-problem/blt21c2bd1f66edeaf3#csd47a108f3d1c12b3" target="_blank">Napoli's Victor Osimhen</a> but their president Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-man-utd-target-victor-osimhen-close-to-signing-new-napoli-deal/blt74bf96aec4438bfd#csba7a081db1638f97" target="_blank">striker is on the verge of extending</a> that would see him stay in Naples beyond 2025. Hence Muller could be an option who could lift United, at least in the short term.
