Müller, in cowboy hat, 'off across the pond' in hint at future

Thomas Müller has given a further hint that he is moving to the United States after publishing a video on Saturday where he says "it's off across the pond" - while wearing a cowboy hat and riding a horse to Wild West music. The former Germany star has left Bayern Munich after 25 years on their books.

Thomas Müller has given a further hint that he is moving to the United States after publishing a video on Saturday where he says "it's off across the pond" - while wearing a cowboy hat and riding a horse to Wild West music.

The former Germany star has left Bayern Munich after 25 years on their books. He has long been linked in the media with Major League Soccer - with Los Angeles FC seen as the favourites for his signing - but a decision has dragged on and Sydney FC in Australia were suddenly in the picture.

But in a bizarre YouTube video with his father and brother, the 35-year-old appeared to confirm he is going to the US - unless it is all a ruse.

"25 years at Bayern. Every day was great. Even if it's over now," Müller said in the clip. "Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday and the day after tomorrow is Monday – and then suddenly it's all over. Then it's off across the pond," he adds before riding away on the horse.
