Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho has already made it clear to the former Bayern Munich man that he does not figure in his plans.

He has yet to feature under the Portuguese and has been training with the club's reserve side.

And the World Cup winner is set for more misery following his Euro omission.

Schweinsteiger only arrived at Old Trafford last summer, but after an injury hit campaign he looks unlikely to make any sort of impact at United despite his determination to stay.

The 32-year-old World Cup winner retired from international football this week after 24 goals and 121 caps.
