Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has revealed none of his players wanted to join Manchester United this summer.
Louis van Gaal's side were linked with moves for Toni Kroos, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen Robben and Thomas Muller during the summer months and while Kroos moved to Real Madrid, the others were 'happy' remaining in Munich.
United splashed over £150million luring big names to Old Trafford as they looked to rebuild after a whirlwind 12 months, but Guardiola insists - had his players wanted a move - United wouldn't have been able to meet the German champions' valuation.

"They don't have enough money," said Guardiola. "I saw they spent this kind of [big] money.
"It's good for my friend Louis [van Gaal]. I know all the players the clubs want, it just depends on the player.
"If the player wants to stay, they stay. Manchester United wants these kind of players, but they want to stay and we are happy to be here."
