Jose Mourinho ends Bastian Schweinsteiger's exile, allows midfielder to train with Man United first team


Bastian Schweinsteiger's exile from Manchester United's first team has come to an end.

The former Bayern Munich star has been training on his own or with the Under-23 squad since Jose Mourinho declared him surplus to requirements earlier this year.

But the Portuguese coach has had a change of heart and allowed him back into the fold.Schweinsteiger was even missing from United's annual team photographed published last week.

But the 2014 World Cup winner was back in training on Monday with the Reds' first-team squad.

It is unclear about whether the move will mean a return to the squad for Schweinsteiger, who earlier this season said that United would be his last club in Europe, hinting at a move to China or America.

But there has obviously been a thawing in Mourinho's attitude towards the German veteran.

Back in August when the Old Trafford manager was asked if Schweinsteiger might still play for United he replied: “I think it’s very difficult to happen. I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m saying it’s very difficult.
