German football giants Bayern Munich would reportedly offer their star winger Arjen Robben an extension to his contract to keep him out of Manchester United's reach.

United manager Louis van Gaal has reportedly shown an interest in adding Robben to his team as he has previously worked with the winger at Bayern and Netherlands.

However, growing relationship between the two has raised concerns for Germany's top club as they have opened talks on an extension to his already existing contract, the Daily Star reported.

It has also been reportedly revealed that a 24million pounds offer from United for Robben is underway this year.
