Thomas Müller isn't interested in becoming Bayern München captain.
Thomas Müller has made it clear that he has no ambitions of becoming captain at Bayern München in the future.
In an interview with Sport Bild, the 30-year-old says he would be happy to see Manuel Neuer keep the the captain's armband.
"I don't hope so," Müller said when asked if he would like to take on the role as captain.
"I've always tried to take responsibility, but 'Manu' can happily remain captain until the end of my career," he added.
Asked about Neuer's current negotiations with Bayern over a contract extension beyond 2021, Müller said:
"The parties have more a year to reach an agreement. My wish is that they can agree on a contract extension in the end."
