Thomas Muller scored a hattrick on his birthday and Emmanuel Sabbi added two goals of his own for the Vancouver Whitecaps, who dismantled the visiting Philadelphia Union 7-0 in an MLS encounter on Saturday night.
The 35-year-old German superstar, who arrived mid-week to sign with Vancouver, is set to see his first Major League Soccer action when the Whitecaps (13-6-6, 45 points) play host to the Houston Dynamo (7-11-7, 28 points) on Monday morning.
Mueller, who played his first game for the club in 2008, moved past former goalkeeper Sepp Maier to outright first on the appearance list in all competitions.
“There is a high probability that this was my last international match,” said the 34-year-old.
Muller posted the unboxing video on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he thanked the Indian team for the gift and tried on the jersey.
Germany forward Thomas Mueller said his country's exit from the World Cup at the group stage for the second tournament in a row on Thursday was an "absolute catastrophe".
