New twist in B. Schweinsteiger's story: "Man United" may release him

"Manchester United" club is so determined to get rid of Bastian Schweinsteiger that they are even considering the possibility of releasing him, reports the English newspaper "The Sun". In that case, the midfielder would have to pay a compensation of 10 million pounds sterling. The 32-year-old German is completely out of the new coach Jose Mourinho's plans and has spent most of this season on the bench. Although Schweinsteiger recently returned to the main team, "Man United" strategist praised his decision as humane and professional, as the player trained intensively with a physical fitness specialist. However, he still does not have a future in the ranks of the "Red Devils" and, according to Mourinho, deciding to leave the club would put him in a "much better situation". The problem is that finding a club willing to take over the German's contract will not be easy, as he earns 180,000 pounds sterling per week. There is still a year and a half left on his contract, during which "Man United" could potentially incur a loss of 18 million pounds.
