Muller denies Van Gaal contact

Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller has dismissed suggestions that Louis van Gaal has contacted him about a move to Manchester United.

Muller scored either side of half-time on his 200th Bundesliga appearance as Bayern eased to a 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena.

"Louis Van Gaal hasn't called me, so I don't know about any move," said Muller, who Van Gaal managed at Bayern between 2009 and 2011.

However, he gave up the chance to complete a hat-trick in his landmark game when he allowed Arjen Robben to convert Bayern's second spot-kick of the match.

"Yeah... I'm a team player," he added.

"Bayern is a shark tank. You have to throw fish to sharks, so there is no problem about the penalty."
