I wont leave Manchester United for another European club Schweinsteiger

Transfer Tittle-Tattle with John Kyanda/Hot 96/@johnkyanda

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says he will not play for another European club and is ready to play for new boss Jose Mourinho.

The former Germany captain has been frozen out of the first-team picture since Mourinho’s arrival in the summer, and has been training with the reserves.

With eight Bundesliga titles and a Champions League win to his name, he left Bayern Munich for United last summer and made 13 Premier League starts under Louis van Gaal during an injury-hit 2015/16 season.

But he insists that if United do want to offload him, he will not move to another European club.

He tweeted: “MUFC will be my last club in Europe.

“I respect other clubs. But Manchester United was the only one which could make me leave Bayern Munich.

“I will be ready, if the team needs me. This is all I can say about my current situation. I want to thanks the fans for the amazing support over the last few weeks.”

Schweinsteiger does not have many options if he does want to leave United and move outside Europe – the transfer window in the MLS closed on 3 August, and the Chinese Premier League window closed on 15 July.
