Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that Bastian Schweinsteiger has no chance of playing at the club this season. Bastian was signed by former Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal last summer, but suffered a series of injuries that saw him play only 18 league games for the English giants, scoring one goal in the process.
His injury-prone season affected his form and to make things even worse for him, the arrival of Paul Pogba in the midfield could trim his chances of playing for Mourinho’s side. Man Utd boss Mourinho has been under intense criticism lately over his treatment of the 32-year-old, who boasts of a wide range of trophies, including the World Cup with Germany. Bastian's brother Tobias once tweeted 'No Respect' in reference to Mou's treatment of the German star.

But speaking to the press over Schweini’s chances of playing for the Red Devils once again, the Portuguese tactician revealed:
“I think it’s very difficult to happen. I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m saying it’s very difficult.
“I have made a decision about Paul Pogba, Ander Herrera. Morgan Schneiderlin, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick. That’s five players for two positions. It’s difficult that a chance will arise.”
On Thursday, the former Germany captain revealed that he had no intentions of playing for any other club in Europe. Check out his emotional message to Manchester United fans on Twitter:
