'Thomas knows exactly what he has' - Bayern Munich president confident of Muller contract extension amid Man Utd links

The veteran attacker's current contract expires in June 2024 but Bayern Munich chief Herbert Hainer claimed that the club are in touch with the player and are confident that he will extend his stay by one more year despite the player being linked with a move to Manchester United.

Speaking to Bild-TV, Hainer said, "Thomas knows exactly what he has at FC Bayern, and we know what we have in Thomas. I can also imagine that things can happen relatively quickly.

"Thomas is an absolutely deserving player. We all want Thomas to end his career at Bayern Munich. We are in talks with him and I really hope that Thomas Müller stays with us."

Other than being linked to the Red Devils, former World Cup-winning Germany captain Lothar Matthaus recently advised the 34-year-old that he should consider making a move out of the club if he wants to play more regularly.

He further suggested that Muller could consider moving to the MLS where he could unite with former Champions League rival Lionel Messi.

The Germany international has seen his game time reduced since Harry Kane moved to the club this summer. He has appeared in 15 matches for the club across all competitions, clocking just 575 minutes on the pitch and has scored twice and provided five assists.

He could be next seen in action on December 9 when his club face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
