Thomas Muller all set to join ManU, Philipp Lahm downplays his importance

This transfer window has been unique for one reason, it saw a maximum number of German players seeking switch to English sides especially Manchester United thanks to Van Gaal and his longest association with European clubs that is helping him entice players to join the Reds Devils. Bastian Schweinsteiger recently switched to England from Bayern Munich and now another Allianz Arena player could soon follow his footsteps if preliminary reports are to be believed. Although, there is no official statement from either club in this regard but close sources have revealed that league giant has offered some 100 million euros to the Bayern attacker which is an eye opening amount since probably no English side has until spent that much money on a single player. Anyways, even captain Philipp Lahm is not sure if they will carry 25-year-old into the field next season or they will have to look for an alternate for the in-form striker. Lahm shared his doubts over Müller availability in a press conference in Shanghai on Tuesday where he said, “In football you can imagine everything. It’s not my decision. In football, it goes so, so quickly. It’s not always only up to the player. There are clubs who get players, players go.

“In football everything goes very, very quickly. I think you can never give a guarantee that it will work like this or like that. As a result, I certainly can’t give any guarantee for Thomas Muller or talk about whether I can imagine. You can always imagine anything happening.”

His words were speaking launder than him and there was a kind of appeal in his language as if he was asking the player to rethink over his decision. Anyhow, this is football and money can do anything over here so there should be no gut feeling if anyone choses better perks at this stage of his career. Adding if they can recoup his loss, or if they can hold their best European club status, he replied, “We’re still a top club that every year, or in the last few years, has made at least the Champions League semifinal. We have a top team that’s very well-equipped this year as well and that can challenge on all fronts. So you don’t have to be worried about anything. And I’m definitely not worried about Thomas — I don’t think we’re going to let him go.”
