In a video posted online, a cheerful Muller was seen jumping with his hands spread out. He seemed to be alone on the training pitch and was possibly doing a personal training program. The video was shared on X by iMiaSanMia.

It was unclear if the routine was part of his training or not, but he seemed to be having fun while doing it. Perhaps he is licking his chops ahead of the Man United showdown.

Muller has had great times when Bayern have faced United in the last few years in the Champions League. He has faced the English giants four times: he won two, drew one, and lost one. He has scored once against the Red Devils, per Transfermarkt.

Man United vs. Bayern preview

The Bundesliga champions start their Champions League campaign in phenomenal form in the competition. Bayern have not lost a Champions League group game since 2017.

They are unbeaten in 34 group-stage games since then and have won the last 13, so Man United will know they will be in for a tough game.

The two sides have faced each other 11 times - Bayern have won four, while United have won two. Five clashes ended in a draw.

Moreover, Bayern legend Muller is looking to get his 100th Champions League win if they beat the English club on Wednesday. He currently has 99 wins from 142 appearances. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (115) and Iker Casillas (101) have reached 100 Champions League wins.

Muller enjoys Harry Kane's company

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Harry Kane started his Bayern Munich career with a bang after netting three goals in his first two Bundesliga games for the German club, much to the delight of teammate Thomas Muller.

The 30-year-old was the star of the show as the Bavarians white-washed Werder Bremen 4-0. He also hit a brace in the 3-1 victory against Augsburg at the Allianz Arena. He has scored four goals this season.

After the victory against Bremen, Kane and Muller could be seen sharing a special connection, something similar to what he enjoyed with Heung-min Son at Tottenham.
