Thomas Müller will watch Saturday night's Bundesliga Klassiker between his former club Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund from Canada but is not saddened that he is no longer part of it.

"I am not the type to miss things," Müller told Munich paper Abendblatt.

"I had many such games for Bayern in the past. Now I have decided on, or rather have not qualified for the classic match."

Müller, 36, did not get his contract renewed at Bayern in summer after 25 years at the club, and he has joined Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps.

Müller said he will keep his fingers crossed for Bayern but that his career there is a matter of the past: "It was wonderful looking back but the Vancouver Whitecaps are the present."

Former Germany international and World Cup winner Müller has been an instant hit in Vancouver, scoring six goals in six matches for the Whitecaps who top the Western Conference.
