Manchester United could turn to Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller as a summer transfer, according to reports.

Muller, a FIFA World Cup winner with Germany in 2014, has endured a frustrating season under Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich during which he has lost form.

The 27-year-old, though, could have a route out of Allianz Arena. According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Muller "intends to sign" for United in the summer after "repeated offers" from United manager José Mourinho.

Muller's form may have tailed off since he struck five goals at that 2014 World Cup in Brazil, coming in as runner-up for the Golden Boot behind James Rodriguez of Colombia. But he would still be a signing to prick the ears of Europe's elite clubs.
