Manchester United target Arjen Robben, has confirmed he is not intending to leave current side and German champions Bayern Munich, according to Sky Sports News.
The Dutch winger, has been linked with a move away from Bayern Munich all summer, in particular to Manchester United where Dutch manager Louis Van Gaal is on his way to. Arjen Robben claimed that he shares a "special bond" with Louis Van Gaal and even citing him as “the most important coach in my career.” Despite the obvious closeness between player and manager, Robben further went on to say that a move to Manchester United “is not an option” and confirmed “I will be staying at Bayern Munich.”
The Netherlands winger was a vital part of the side, who beat Brazil 3-0 in the 3rd place playoff last night, has been touted for a move to Manchester United over the last few weeks. The winger neither confirmed nor denied the rumours until now, but has confirmed he won’t be joining Manchester United. This World Cup, Robben has been on top form scoring 3 goals and supplying one assist, but he did create another 16 goal scoring chances throughout the tournament.
Manchester United have been severely missing a winger of Robben’s style, with pure pace and dribbling ability. But who also has an end result, either scoring or getting assist. With the current wingers of Valencia, Nani and Young all underperforming Robben would have been a great buy for Manchester United, but it is not going to happen so manager Louis Van Gaal will have to look to other wingers to solve his sides problems in that area.
