    Is he being a *?

    Is Mourinho?

    Has he fingered Jose's dog?

    Mourinho doesn't fancy him but Schweinsteiger wants to fight for his place. Fair play to him, * knows how he can't get a game yet Fellaini is starting every week.

    His legs have gone. Good on him for sitting out that contract though, he'd be mad to leave. Watch his bird play tennis, play the odd game for the reserves, pocket 200k or so till it expires then * off to China or the US to sign an even better deal. Yes please.

    Strange one. Always liked him, maybe the legs are just away a bit?

    If only the rumours from the transfer window was true, he's exactly what we need if hes even half as good as 2 or 3 year ago.

    His legs have gone, you could notice it the first time he played for Man U last season. Can't run and carrying a few pounds. Even though he isnt even that old either, he just turned 32 a couple of weeks ago I think but he looks more like hes 36-38 playing wise, same with Barton at Sevco who you notice cant run either just from watching a couple of minutes of him.

    Aye even at the end of his Bayern career you noticed him tailing off. Still thought he would have went to England and tore it up but it was noticeable from day 1 he was done.

    Don't think either are, manager doesn't fancy him and he didn't want to leave, that's football, he still is in the PL squad so never say never,

    Why is this still a thing? Nobody makes close to that in MLS, indeed there are only two who (barely) match half of that - Kaka and Giovinco. In fact that's more than many clubs' entire payrolls. MLS is not some rich league. Most of the older players get contracts less than their previous one, and controls are very strict on salaries. It boggles the mind how this is still believed.

    He is clearly done though, same as Yaya Toure at City although Toure can still be quite effective hes just a lazy * who plays for 5 minutes then walks about like a pensioner hands on hips for 10 minutes then kicks into gear for 5 minutes again but still sprays passes about and is a goal threat just cant do it over 90 minutes.

    Schweinsteiger has been ineffective for Man U as he cant get about the pitch and his quality on the ball hasnt been that good either, he doesnt really add anything defensively or in attack just strolls round passing it 10 yards.

    I remember watching 'Sunday Supplement' months ago, and one of the guys toured with Spurs, I think. Anyway, there was a conference and Pep came out and told everyone in no uncertain terms, that his legs are gone.
    Couple of weeks later, he signed for Utd. :smiley-laughing002:

    His name got him the move to United.

    He isn't good enough anymore, an MLS player.

    He's finished, he was finished last June and United were still stupid enough to sign him and like a previous post said Guardiola told the world he was finished
