A number of big players have been linked with Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United side and quite a few reports spoke about the Red Devils’ potential summer signings. Some of these speculations also linked the Dutch manager’s side with World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The German outfit were really nice about the way they handled the entire situation and were quite civil about a potential Schweinsteiger transfer to Old Trafford.
The World Cup winning superstar is an absolute legend at the Allianz Arena and FC Hollywood were looking to sign the player as well, though it was not clear whether the club wanted to sell or not.
However, the former European champions would not stand in the 30-year old midfielder’s way if he wished to complete a move away and Guardiola had earlier stated that he would respect Schweinsteiger’s decision.
Now, the last words by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on this topic to SportBild’s Christian Falk were, “I spoke to him on the phone while on holiday and we’re going to meet again when he’s back.
“I’m not going to hide that I discerned from these talks that he is flattered by the interest from England.”
Well, the future of the German international still hangs in the balance and it would be interesting to see which club he eventually ends up with.
