Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has expressed his regret over the departure of Bastian Schweinsteiger. The World Cup winning midfielder recently made a move to the MLS to play for Chicago Fire.
The German player was a free agent and Mourinho approved his move to join the US side. Bastian was struggling to fit in Mourinho’s system and barely had made a full-time appearance for the Red Devils since his high-profile move from Bayern Munich.
Jose Mourinho questioned his attitude during his stint at the Old Trafford. “What I knew about Bastian was a season full of injuries, a season almost when he didn’t play, when he wasn’t even having treatment at the club – he was having treatment outside the club.
“I didn’t think that was right. The mentality was not right. The kind of player I wouldn’t like to have in the squad.
“But after knowing him as a person and professional – the way he behaved and respected my decisions – yes I regret it. There’s no problem for me to admit that. He knows that.”
