Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic strongly dismissed reports linking Thomas Muller with a January exit from the Bundesliga champions.
Muller has been heavily linked to struggling Premier League giants Manchester United and Serie A outfit Inter since revealing he was considering his future at Bayern.
Frustrated with his lack of game time under Niko Kovac, Germany international Muller has started Bayern s last two matches, including Saturday s 2-1 win over Union Berlin.
Amid the speculation regarding Muller, Salihamidzic told Sky Sport pre-game: We have two long-term injuries, and you re trying to convince us that we re giving someone up.
This is a novel you write all the time. We are not thinking about the players we should give up but looking to bring the team back to running again and playing stable football.
Job done! 3 points and top of the table we go 2-1

After the match, which was won by Benjamin Pavard and Robert Lewandowski, Muller joked about the rumours.
I ve heard that it will be colder here from Monday, then I have the change in air here too, the 30-year-old said.
Muller emerged from Bayern s youth system in 2008, and he has since won eight Bundesliga trophies with the Bavarian powerhouse.
He has also celebrated Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup titles during his time in Munich.
