Thomas Muller to Man Utd a possibility admits Philipp Lahm
Thomas Muller: No guarantees about
Bayern future, says Philipp Lahm
Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm
admits he cannot guarantee that Thomas Muller will not follow Bastian
Schweinsteiger to Manchester United.
Reports in Germany have claimed that
United are preparing to table a big-money move for the forward.
United boss Louis van Gaal bare on
Monday evening that he is interested in signing a striker - one that had not
previously been linked by the media with a move to Old Trafford.
Muller would fit the bill, and
Germany defender Lahm said he could offer Bayern fans no guarantees that Muller
would not join Germany midfielder Schweinsteiger at United.
"It's not my decision,"
Lahm told reporters in Shanghai, where Bayern are facing Inter Milan in a
pre-season friendly. "Things can happen very quickly in football.
"I certainly can't provide any
guarantee for Thomas Muller (staying)."
I
certainly can't provide any guarantee for Thomas Muller (staying).

Lahm did, though, insist there is no
chance he would follow his long-time team-mates out of Bayern, which has been
his home for the past 13 years.
"That's not going to happen
with me," he said. "I'm pleased that I've been able to spend
practically all my career at home. It's huge to be in the same club for so
long."
Lahm is not concerned about Bayern,
who have dominated German football for the past three years, losing their
domestic dominance.
"We're still a top club,"
he said. "We've reached at least the semi-finals of the Champions League
in recent years and we have a top team who would be playing at the top in any
league. We certainly don't need to have any fear."
