All signs point towards Bastian Schweinsteiger leaving Manchester United this summer.
The former Germany captain was not included in United’s squad that played a pre-season friendly in Sweden last Saturday, and new boss Jose Mourinho’s comments following the game hinted that Schweinsteiger isn’t part of his plans.
“If they were not in my plans I would not give them one single minute, I would not keep them in my squad,” the former Chelsea manager said.
This merely added to the reports from the last week that Schweinsteiger had been told to find another club.
Things got worse on Sunday afternoon when it was reported that the 32-year-old has been made train with the club’s U-21 side, and had to remove his belongings from the first-team dressing room.
And things are quickly looking like Schweinsteiger’s position at Old Trafford has become untenable after his brother Tobi simply tweeted the phrase “no respect” in the midst of the latest reports about the former Bayern midfielder’s struggles in England.

While it’s not clear if he’s directing the sentiment at his brother’s new manager or the media speculating on his future (or maybe something entirely unrelated) it does feel like there’s some big changes coming for the World Cup winner.
