Ex-national team player Bastian Schweinsteiger is said to have been deported to the reserve team at his club Manchester United, according to British media reports.
It is another indication that coach José Mourinho is not planning with the former Bayern player. And the competition in the midfield of ManU is even bigger.
Bastian Schweinsteiger seems to be leaving Manchester United. On the occasion of his 32nd birthday, the ex-national player from coach José Mourinho has been deported to the reserve team. As the British media reported, the world champion had to clear his locker with the pros and move to the reserve locker room. Schweinsteiger is to train with the next generation.
The downgrade is another indication that coach José Mourinho is not planning with the midfielder. Actually Schweinsteiger's contract in Manchester is still two years. But already on Saturday there were clear signs of a premature separation. In the test game against Galatasaray Istanbul Mourinho had renounced five pros, including Schweinsteiger.
The "Daily Mail" sees in the world champion an "outcast"
After the match, the coach gave the interviewer an interview. Mourinho said, "Players with whom I am not planning do not spend a minute, and I do not keep them in the squad."
The British press therefore speculates about Schweinsteiger's farewell. The Daily Mail sees an "outcast" in the world champion and reports an alleged interest of AC Milan. Stadrivale Inter is also to be interested in Schweinsteiger. The Mirror writes: "Schweinsteiger's career at Manchester United is as good as over".
Last season, Schweinsteiger was among the Mourinho's predecessors, Louis van Gaal, 21 times in the starting line-up of United and was ten times replaced. He scored a goal. All season, Schweinsteiger had to fight with a knee injury. The competition in the midfield of Manchester United is big anyway with Michael Carrick, Morgan Schneiderlin, Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera. With France's national team player Paul Pogba, the next top commitment for the midfield is also imminent.
