Manchester United and Chelsea have been served a blow in their pursuit of Thomas Muller with the German forward set to sign a new deal with Bayern Munich, reports Kicker.
Muller, 28, has been strongly linked with moves to both Premier League clubs in recent weeks and United reportedly failed with a world record bid for the forward over the summer.
However, both look set to miss out after Bayern came to a verbal agreement with Muller to extend his stay until 2021.
The Bayern striker is already on course to shatter his best season for scoring over the last seven seasons, having matched his personal best tally of 13 league goals already.
Muller was been particularly prolific in November where he netted in all three league games for Bayern, as well as registering two further assists. In fact, his form was enough to move him up 84 places into the top 20 rated players for November across Europe's top five leagues.
