Recent reports in England have linked the Dutchman to a reunion with his former boss Louis van Gaal, who coached him at the German giants as well as the Dutch national team.

It has been claimed that United would be willing to pay as much as £50 million (R1.08 billion) for Robben, but the player has now rubbished any rumour that he could leave Bayern.

"I never thought about a transfer," he said, as quoted by the Daily Mirror.

"I am happy in Munich; my family is happy in Munich.

"My contract runs until 2017. You can't look too far forward in football, but everything is fine at the moment – I hope things continue this way."

Robben also commented on the possible departure of Bayern boss Pep Guardiola, who is set to sit down for crunch talks with the club's leadership.

"It is a lot of fun working with him. Tactically, he is perhaps the best – and I don't say that just because he's our coach at the moment," he added.

"He is also a perfect human fit with Bayern."
