Thanksgiving 2020: 3 things Bayern Munich fans should be thankful for
Thomas Muller signing a new deal
A year ago, there was growing uncertainty surrounding the future of Thomas Muller at Bayern. The German forward was struggling to get playing time under Kovac. He was reportedly contemplating a move away from the club during the winter transfer market.
Things changed completely for Muller when Flick was appointed as the first team manager. The German coach brought Muller back into the first-team fold and started giving him an extended run in his favoured number ten role. Flick’s immense trust in Muller started paying off on the pitch.

The Bavarian faithful will be thankful for seeing Muller for many more years in the Bayern shirt. He has started this season on fire as Die Roten looks to defend all their titles.
