Although to be fair, the most vocal critic of Mourinho’s treatment of Schweinsteiger, the attorney/player union rep who said it was criminal, walked back that critique with an apology.
Phil Jones could be on his way out of Manchester United as a host of Premier League clubs have shown interest in signing the English defender.
As United prepare to take on fellow high-flyers Hull City in an early season title decider on Humberside, a report by The Sun claims that Mourinho’s plans to sign Jose Fonte from Southampton.
Jones, 24, has been riddled by injuries throughout his career and appears set for a battle to earn a regular place at United.
Berahino is free to start talking to overseas clubs in January because he is in the final year of his contract and any departure overseas is likely to leave Albion with next to no compensation for the former England under-21 striker.
United’s summer signings of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have made Schweinsteiger’s prospects of featuring in the first team seem even more remote.
Now, according to German broadcaster Sport 1, Schweinsteiger will stay at Manchester United this summer and is not planning a transfer away from the club.
But the low asking price will further prove attractive to admirers of the 32-year-old.
