Bayern Munich can never sell Thomas Muller to Manchester United... fans would never forgive the board, says member of club hierarchy
* Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller linked with move to Manchester United
* However, German giants could never sell him, says member of hierarchy
* Muller is having his worst season, scoring only three goals in 18 games
Bayern Munich could never sell Thomas Muller to Manchester United, according to one member of the club's hierarchy.
Supporters of the club would never forgive Bayern if the German giants decided to cash in on 'part of the club's DNA', according to former Minister President for Bavaria Edmund Stoiber.
The Germany international is enduring his most difficult season at the Allianz Arena with only three goals in 18 appearances and has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Bayern Munich could never sell Thomas Muller, according to a member of the club's hierarchy. Muller is 'part of the DNA' and fans would never forgive if he was sold, says Edmund Stoiber
'No one on the Supervisory Board would vote to sell. It should not happen that Thomas Muller plays at Manchester United,' Stoiber told Bild.
'Muller is the 'boy next door'. He is the opposite of, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo.
'He is more than just an excellent footballer. A player like him is part of our DNA. He plays an important role at the club. Muller not only creates emotions with his goals, he talks to the fans hearts.
While some fans were disappointed to see Bastian Schweinsteiger leave Munich for United in the summer of 2015, Stoiber believes the outcry would be far greater if Muller departed.
Stoiber insists the Bayern faithful would not be able to forgive the board if they cashed in on Muller, no matter what the price.
'When Bastian Schweinsteiger went to Manchester United, the fans were not happy,' said Stoiber. '[But] he's 32 years old and wanted to experience something new.
'The members and fans, however, would never forgive us if we sell Thomas Muller. No matter how much money.'
