Schweinsteiger's stay at United could be short
Bastian Schweinsteiger's days at
Manchester United could be numbered.
Twelve months ago this week the German World Cup winner made his debut for the Reds against Club America at the CenturyLink Field in Seattle and was hailed as a masterstroke big name signing by then manager Louis van Gaal.
But the midfielder, who'll be 32 on August 1, might not find it is a case of many happy returns when he gets back to United's training complex.
Schweinsteiger's injury record last season at United has put a big question mark over his future under
new Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho .
It took him a while to get up to Premier League speed last autumn and then he suffered a knee injury in January in the FA Cup game against Sheffield United that cost him 13 matches.
He returned in spring for four substitute appearances and then suffered a knee ligament injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season.
Schweinsteiger made it back for Germany's Euro 2016 bid that ended at the semi final stage.
He has since been on holiday and got married. Like all the United players in the Euros, he has been given a three-week break and would be due back in England after United's two-match tour of China and friendly against Galatasaray in Sweden.
Mourinho is proud of the injury record his squads have had during his managerial career and made a point of mentioning it in his opening welcome press conference.
Schweinsteiger's recent injury history doesn't tick the box for Mourinho.
Fenerbahce showed interest in the midfielder towards the end of last season and could rekindle their interest.
United would not be averse to cutting short Schweinsteiger's Old Trafford stay after just one year.
Schweinsteiger's Manchester United future is looking bleak
