Hey eds. is it looking increasingly likely that Thomas muller may leave bayern Munich? If so which clubs are interested in him. Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Very, very much so - a decent question at last.}

I would hope that if he is going to move we would go in for him as I think he is best used on the right of a front 3 and can play across the front anywhere if needed. A front 3 of Rooney, RVP and Mueller would be devastating with Mata behind then 2 new centre mids or Fellaini and someone like Classie sort of a 42121.

Would suit the Premier is a good option better than Sanchez or Di Maria if you ask me but if he was avaliable would anyone but us try to sign him and would he join a team with no Champions League

He's not leaving bayern, schweinsteiger maybe but reckon ol Woodward will make a joke of all needed signings til World Cup is over

Ourselves and Barcelona are interested in him. Hopefully it's our offer that has turned his head recently.

I would be happy getting Muller, with his Van Gaal history we would at least be in with a shout.
I also think getting him would allow for Rooney or Hernandez to be sold. I would still look at Sanchez/Di marea/ukranian chap as well and try and keep Nani as support

By support do you mean sat on the sides cheering them on?

Am I the only one who thinks this would be a terrible signing? Muller is a great player but he is not the quickest. We have some great players in the forward positions but what we lack are players that are blessed with pace and get chalk on their boots. A front 3 of Rooney, RVP and muller would seriously lack pace and width! we can't make the same mistake we did with signing Mata - a great player, but not the type we desperately need.

Why would Rooney be part of the front three? I would be surprised if he wasn't in midfield next season.

I wouldn't be suprised if he's on the bench next year never mind midfield. his first touch at the moment reminds me of a guy who plays sunday league football for my team.

Any interest from United in mueller ed?

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United and Barcelona are still interested in Muller. Interest from Manchester City, Lazio and Chelsea seems to have waned.}

How far has our interest gone so far Ed002? Are we in discussion with Bayern?

{Ed002's Note - Give me a break - this is becoming terribly anal again.}

Is it true that mangala wants to move to United? and are we interested in him? He would improve our defence a lot.

{Ed002's Note - Eliaquim Mangala has been watched by many clubs but an unreasonable termination clause and a third party ownership issue put most off firming up enquiries. Although both Monaco and Chelsea approached Porto about a deal, it would need a negotiated price to stand any chance of completion. The price has seemingly not dumbed interest from the Manchester clubs. I am told by that Mr Moyes had someone looking at Mangala on behalf of Manchester United towards the end of the season and there has been a flurry of activity from Manchester City - and both clubs fear interest from Real Madrid if they lose Varane. However, without a negotiated price a move seems very unlikely.}

Barcelona have apparently ended their interest in Hummels due to the double ankle injury he had last year.

Something we should think about before we think of signing him.

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona and Manchester United both maintain an interest in Hummels but Dortmund do not want to sell.}
