Jose Mourinho doesn't need to add more talent to Manchester United, since all he needs to do is bring back Bastian Schweinsteiger to the first team.
That's what Schweini's former Bayern Munich team-mate Manuel Neuer stated today in a press conference, as he backed the 32-year old to step out of his forced hiatus and try to help the Red Devils.
"He belongs on the field for Manchester United and not training individually. I really hope that Bastian gets some consideration soon, we all know he's one of the best midfielders in the world," Neuer said to the media earlier today.
Schweinsteiger has been snubbed by Mourinho since his arrival at Old Trafford, forcing the 2014 World Cup winner to train on his own since he returned from his UEFA Euro 2016 duties.
The midfielder hasn't played an official match with the Red Devils since March.

Despite being an outcast, the player has remained loyal to the team, even praising their performances from time to time.
Great performance tonight. Congratulations, guys! @ManUtd https://t.co/IFcpH1PVnv
