The German international has been sent to play with Manchester United's U-20 team ever since José Mourinho arrived to Old Trafford

German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has been involved in a number of transfer rumors ever since Jose Mourinho chose to make an outcast out of him by sending the player to the U-20 squad. With that in mind, most expected the player to step up and reveal which club he would play for next season, but Schweini's decision might be a shocker for most fans.

Despite having a number of offers to choose from, the 2014 World Cup winner with Germany ruled out any move away from the Red Devils, considering that leaving the English club to join another European team would be taking a step backwards.

The player's announcement seems to be a direct hit to José Mourinho's authority, considering the coach had already told Schweinsteiger he would not be enjoying enough playing time. Furthermore, the German International may be paving the way to leave the Red Devils to join an MLS team, or maybe a Chinese Super League side, which could afford his current wage.

The midfielder played 31 games for Manchester United during his debut season in the EPL, scoring 1 goal and handing out 2 assists. His playing time was cut short due to a number of untimely injuries, which never allowed him to become a regular with the Red Devils.
