Jose Mourinho blasts Bayern on Bastian Schweinsteiger

Sport: Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has blasted Bayern Munich after the German club criticized him for his handling of former Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger. Mourinho who was speaking during a press confrence on Friday, said it will be “very difficult” for Bastian Schweinsteiger to feature for Manchester United adding that he is “surprised” Bayern Munich have not attempted to sign him.


The 32-year old Germany has been frozen out of the first-team setup at Old Trafford by Mourinho and forced to train with the club's reserves.

Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said he could “hardly believe” Mourinho’s treatment of Schweinsteiger and believes it will turn players off from joining the club in future.

Responding to those comments on Friday, Mourinho said;

“I thought after I read some quotes from people at Bayern Munich that they would run to Manchester to bring him (Schweinsteiger) back, but no, that did not happen.

“I am quite surprised that Mr Rummennigge is not here now to take him back.”
