Muller and Reus Turned Down Moves to Manchester United

Louis Van Gaal wanted to rebuild Manchester United with two major
pieces, but Thomas Muller and Marco Reus had other plans.

Who could blame Van Gaal for trying to lure two of the best players in
the world to his club. Unfortunately for him and the millions of Man
United fans worldwide, the German stars had other plans.

It was Van Gaal who gave Muller his first start for Bayern Munich when
the Dutchman coached the Bavarian giants. But leaving Bayern for any
club wasn't an option for Muller.

"I knew that I would have earned more money," said Muller in an
interview withSport Bild, via Yahoo Eurosport.

"The sums from other clubs which circulated had been astronomical. I
can just say: a transfer for me was never an option. FC Bayern is my
club."

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo shot down rumours of Reus
joining his club, with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder linked to a
move to Arsenal, Manchester United, and the defending La Liga
champions.

"I don't know where the Marco Reus rumour came from. It's a player
who, at this time, is impossible to us," Cerezo said.

"Look, he had an offer for a lot of money from Manchester United and
he has not gone... we will not sign him with a lesser offer."
