Mourinho has asked this SUPERSTAR to leave the club

Yesterday, Bastian Schweinsteiger announced his retirement

from international football. The German midfielder broke the news on his social media

accounts just hours after he was told he isn’t needed at Old

Trafford. He wrote;

“I have asked the head coach not to consider me for selection

for the national team in the future as I would like to retire.

“I give my thanks to the fans, the team, the German FA and

the coaches of the national team.

“In 120 international games I was allowed to have beautiful

and successful moments beyond description for my country.”

Schweinsteiger told his social media fans.

Prior to his announcement, reports had suggested the player

will be a high-profile casaulty under new manager Jose

Mourinho.

The Portuguese manager doesn’t see Schweinsteiger as part

of his plans for the upcoming season, and he will be let go

alongside a number of others, including Adnan Januzaj, Tim

Fosu-Mensah and Tyler Blackett.

The player moved to Manchester United at the beginning of

last season, but found game time limited under then United

boss Louis van Gaal, mainly due to injury problems
