Bayern Munich's CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has moved to quell the speculation around the future of Germany forward Thomas Muller.

Manchester United were one of several clubs rumoured to have made huge bids for the striker this summer, with United reportedly making a bid of £80 million for his services.

But Muller stayed put, and has since scored eight goals across all competitions this season - even if he was outshone by Robert Lewandowski against Wolfsburg this week.

Rummenigge said on Thursday that Muller is simply not for sale at any price.

"Muller will stay at Bayern, regardless of what any club offers," the 59-year-old told Bild.

"There is no amount that would make us consider an offer.

"Messi belongs to Barcelona, Rooney belongs to Manchester United and Muller belongs to Bayern. It should stay like that.

"There might be players out there who have a better technique and who are faster, but there is no second Thomas Muller in this world.

"He is extremely valuable to us. He represents the Mia San Mia feeling at Bayern."
