United were also keen on attacker Thomas Muller however Bayern rejected all their bids
Louis van Gaal has confirmed he wanted to sign Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller for Manchester United during his reign at Old Trafford.
Dutch manager Louis Van Gaal during his two-year stint with Manchester United brought in a plenty of new blood to the club in quest of his first English title. Still, his body was not able to keep up with the high demands of the Premier League.
"Bayern sold him to us as fit player, but, in reality, physically he had reached the end".
"Philipp Lahm played at left-back and I was the first to put him on the right". But it also explains how things were with Schweinsteiger.
In the same interview, Van Gaal says though he was sacked by Bayern Munich, he retains fond memories of the club.
Toni scored 38 times in 60 appearances for Bayern between 2007 and 2010, but just one of his goals came in his final season as he was jettisoned by Van Gaal, before joining Roma on loan.
Hoeness and Van Gaal have traded public barbs since, with the Bayern supremo claiming in 2013 that the manager "believes he is God's father".

Certainly the future for Pandora is bleak, and Spotify didn't do a great job in outlining ways to make money in its F1 filing. Yet there's reason to believe Spotify shares will soar once they begin trading under the ticker symbol SPOT .
Van Gaal has also been accused of mistreatment by former player Adnan Januzaj, who stated that the Dutchman "halted" his progress as a footballer.
Mourinho later said he had made a mistake in his handling of the German. Van Gaal who was a keen admirer of Hummels, having worked with him during his time at Bayern was not happy with his predecessor's decision to let him leave for arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund. United fans were relieved and believed that Van Gaal would be the ideal Fergie's replacement.
"I can confirm that I wanted Muller".
"As long as Uli Hoeness is at the club, I wouldn't work there", he said. Totally different to Bayern.
However, the experienced chief has revealed he'd have spent even more if things had panned out differently.
"That's why I love FC Bayern".
