Man Utd Transfers: 10 Strikers That Could Be Louis van Gaal's 'Secret Signing'
8. Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
I'm not sure why Thomas Muller is such a good footballer? He isn't quick, he isn't strong, he doesn't really have any natural ability? What he does have is every single trophy available to a professional footballer and despite his mind-numbingly boring goal celebration (that sees him statically lift both hands aloft from his last remaining position) he doesn't half do it a lot. It would be astonishing if Louis van Gaal was able to dissect the Bayern Munich spine and carefully transplant it into his Manchester United core but it seems unlikely. The price tag is a cool 100million for the World Cup winner and although the Red Devils seem at ease with the price, Die Roten are reluctant to sell another player to the English side.
