Previously reported that Manchester United had sent someone to Germany to negotiate with Stiller's transfer, Sacha Tavolieri, a reporter who publicly apologized, admitting that the report was incorrect.

The reporter said: "Stuttgart club is currently discussing internally whether to sell Stiller. Manchester United and Real Madrid are interested in him."

He then admitted: "(Reported that Manchester United sends people to Germany for negotiations) is my mistake, and I bear all the responsibility: Manchester United did not send representatives to Stuttgart. I apologize."

24-year-old Stiller has a three-year contract with Stuttgart. The player has 4 goals and 11 assists last season, and 1 assist in 4 games this season. Germany turns around and costs 45 million euros.
