BASTIAN UNLIKELY TO PLAY FOR UNITED: JOSE

MANCHESTER: Bastian Schweinsteiger is unlikely to play for Manchester United this season, manager Jose Mourinho (in pic) said on Friday. Mourinho has used Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera this season and the signings of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have pushed Schweinsteiger further down the order. “It is very difficult to happen. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m saying that it’s very difficult. We have five players for two positions. It’s very difficult that an opportunity will arrive (for him),” Mourinho told reporters. Mourinho is surprised Bayern Munich have not attempted to bring Schweinsteiger back to the club where he played for 13 seasons before joining United last year.
