Manchester United target Thomas Muller appears to have opened the door to a move to the Premier League by admitting a move to England is 'very tempting' due to the wages.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently said United were wasting their time in trying to entice Muller to Old Trafford and told Louis van Gaal's side to stop sending emails regarding his availability.
Muller, who earns in the region of £110,000-a-week at Bayern Munich, could more than double his wages if he was to seal a move to England.
'I know that a lot of German clubs are unhappy with the Premier League clubs' spending, but I think it is something good for all clubs in the end.
'It can only be a good thing for football when clubs invest so much money.'

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently said United were wasting their time in trying to entice Muller to Old Trafford and told Louis van Gaal's side to stop sending emails regarding his availability.
However the 26-year-old now appears to have opened the door to a move to the Premier League - if the money is right.
Muller, speaking to German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, said: 'In the end, we should not forget that playing football is our job.

'So people should accept that wages will always play a role in a player's decision-making. Of course, the wages that are being paid in the Premier League are very tempting. It would be hypocrisy to deny that.
'You have to look at the complete package to determine whether something is right for you. What's good for you one day will not necessarily still be good for you the day after.
WAGES - GERMANY VS ENGLAND
Muller, who earns in the region of £110,000-a-week at Bayern Munich, could more than double his wages if he was to seal a move to England.
At Manchester United for example, Wayne Rooney earns £250,000-a-week while Bastian Schweinsteiger is on £180,000-a-week at the age of 31.

Muller's latest comments will encourage Van Gaal, who knows all about the forward having worked with him during his time at Bayern Munich.
Van Gaal has already managed to raid his former side for Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Schweinsteiger decided to leave his beloved Bayern Munich in the summer as he was keen on taking up a new challenge away from his homeland.
Muller, who still has four years left to run on his £110,000-a-week contract, would be a harder deal to complete due to Bayern's reluctance to cash in on the lethal goalscorer.
The Red Devils currently just have three recognised senior strikers on their books with Anthony Martial, Wayne Rooney and James Wilson at the club.
