Jose Mourinho Hits Back At Bayern Munich
When asked about Schweinsteiger’s chances of forcing his way into contention, Mourinho said: “I think it’s very hard to happen”.

Asked if Schweinsteiger might play this season, Mourinho said: “I think it’s very hard to happen”.
Schweinsteiger unlikely to play for Man United: Mourinho was posted in Sports of TheNews International – https://www.thenews.com.pk on August 27, 2016 and was last updated on August 27, 2016. That’s five players for two positions. “He is free to do that in an objective and polite way like he did”.
“I think we are going to have a very quiet week in the transfer window, not surrounded by helicopters waiting for people to arrive and leave”.
There were many takeaways from the Q&A, but perhaps the most entertaining moment was when Mourinho took a not so subtle swipe at Bayern Munich, and their president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge who earlier this summer criticized United’s handling of Schweinsteiger.
“I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m saying its very hard because we have made a decision made about (Paul) Pogba, (Ander) Herrera, (Morgan) Schneiderlin, (Marouane) Fellaini and (Michael) Carrick”.
United would happily take a small transfer fee to rid themselves of the German, but a problem exists with the player’s monumental pay, like the three City players.
Mourinho said of his own team, whose league campaign has so far seen them beat Bournemouth 3-1 away and Southampton 2-0 at home: “For me, the important thing is we had a very hard start with a unusual pre-season with players coming step by step and not much time to work, but we won the Community Shield (beating Leicester 2-1) and six points”. I like Cameron Borthwick-Jackson a lot but he’s going to Wolves to play.
So when will the midfielder who has the most fun name to say in all of sports finally feature again? “These are the decisions that every club does”. His chances of seeing playing time would have been close to zero with United’s current group of midfielders.
“I think the reality is he’s one of the most successful assistant managers in the country, in the Premier League”.
Mkhitaryan, a £30million off-season signing for United from Borussia Dortmund, has played just 29 Premier League minutes off the bench to begin the campaign.
Further, and perhaps in a shot at his critics too, he insisted that he would have no issue with “accelerating” some of the youth team players through and giving them a chance if necessary. For an 18-year-old boy, he is unbelievable. “I think he deserves the job”.
