Man Utd confident of Thomas Muller deal

Manchester United are confident of landing the signature of German international Thomas Muller from Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window.

The Mancunian giants are expected to move in for a top-class striker following the departure of Robin van Persie to Fenerbahce.

Club captain Wayne Rooney remains the only recognised striker for now, with James Wilson yet to prove his credentials.

According to The Star, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is confident of signing up Muller for a record fee of around £60m, in spite of Bayern's reluctance to sell their star asset.

The World Cup winner has spent his entire career with the Bavarian outfit.
