Schweinsteiger’s future at Old Trafford was already being called into question before Van Gaal was unceremoniously sacked days after the FA Cup triumph in May before new manager Jose Mourinho made a decision to cut the former Bayern Munich midfielder adrift.

Schweinsteiger, 32, has yet to feature under new United boss Jose Mourinho, with sources telling ESPN FC that the club want him to secure him an exit before August 31’s deadline while the player himself has said he will not sign for another European club.
The German, who only moved to Old Trafford last summer, has been banished from the first team since Mourinho’s appointment – as he looks to trim his squad to a manageable level. In principle, nobody is leaving because I don’t want anyone to leave.
But I think it is very hard for him.
Ander Herrera, Michael Carrick, Morgan Schneiderlin and Daley Blind-when he’s not filling in at centre-back-will also compete for places, so Schweinsteiger may struggle to force his way back into the side.
United have made a storming start to the season, beating champions Leicester in the Community Shield before winning both their Premier League games so far, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Schweinsteiger released an official statement on his twitter account yesterday, in which he said Manchester United would be his last European club. “It’s his life, his career”, Mourinho said at his weekly press conference today and he suggested that there is little chance of Schweinsteiger appearing for the first team.
However, Neuer added that Low has to make the call, and “we could always trust him in recent years, and knew that he will make the right decision”. “No one is coming and 23 players is more than enough”. So that’s not a problem for us.
“Not surrounded by helicopters waiting for somebody to arrive or leave”.
‘Football is made of decisions.
“Bastian is not speaking a lot”. He gave his last statement which he’s completely free to do in an objective and polite way, as he did.
