This appears to be directed at Jose Mourinho.
Bastian Schweinsteiger looks set to leave 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 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.
There were also reports last week that Schweinsteiger has been told to find another club. While on Sunday afternoon it was reported that the 32-year-old has been made train with United’s U-21 side, and had to remove his belongings from the first-team dressing room.
This tweet from Schweinsteiger’s brother Tobi arguably backs-up the story that the midfielder has been banished from United’s first-team.
On Sunday evening he tweeted: “no respect”, possibly referring to the way the player has been treated by the club since returning to pre-season training.
