Bastian Schweinsteiger says Manchester United will be his last club in Europe. The German's been out of favour since Jose Mourinho's arrival at the club.
Schweinsteiger's not featured at all this season and has been forced to train with the reserves. Mourinho though made it clear that at the moment, there is no role for the World Cup winning midfielder.
"What is happening is what is happening in every club in the world”, Mourinho said earlier this month.
“Which is that the manager decides his squad and he chooses a certain number of players to face the season, that’s it?”
"I normally like to work with 20 players plus the three goalkeepers, which is what I do for 15 years.”
“We have so many players, so many competitions, especially the Europa League, which changes the profile of the season a lot.”
"You have the big risk of travelling a lot, playing Premier League. So I made the decision to play with 23 players and two goalkeepers, which is a lot. I had to make my decisions, it's simple."
Schweinsteiger's tweeted his thanks to fans for what he calls their "amazing support" and says he is still hoping to be picked.
