Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben has reportedly ruled out a move to Manchester United this summer, saying that it is not an option and he is staying with the German champions.

Robben, who is the second Bayern player to rule out a move to United after teammate Toni Kroos, said that he is staying at the club and cannot imagine the German champions selling him.

According to the Daily Star, Robben said that he has only just renewed his contract and both Bayern and the winger are happy with each other, adding that it would have been a different story had he been unhappy.

Robben said that had he been unhappy he would have been open to a move to United then because he had a great time under the Premier League club's new boss Louis van Gaal at Bayern.

The Winger said that Van Gaal, who is a former manager of Bayern, has been very important for his career, but added that the fact is that he is very happy at his current club.
