The Red Devils submitted a "mad" transfer offer for the Germany international in 2015, according to Bayern Munich's chief executive.
Bayern Munich could have sold Thomas Muller to Manchester United for a world-record fee in 2015, according to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
Muller was repeatedly linked with a switch to United last year, and the Bayern chairman admitted he was the subject of a "mad" transfer bid from the Premier League side.
But Rummenigge cited the importance of having home-grown players in the squad as a reason for passing up the offer.
"Thomas Muller came out of it [the youth academy]. [He is] born near Munich, formed here, the hero of the fans," the Bayern chief told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
"We had a mad offer from Manchester United last year, which was not a topic for one second.
"We could have secured a world-record transfer fee."
