Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic insists they do not want to sell Thomas Muller in January.

The striker is being linked with with Manchester United for the winter market.

But Salihamidzic says: "We have two long-term injuries and you are trying to convince us that we will give up someone. It's a short story you write all the time.

"We do not think about the players we should give up, but look at getting the team to run again and play stable football.

"The relationship between Thomas and Bavaria is really intact and (he) will remain an important part of our club."
