Manchester United's treatment of Bastian Schweinsteiger 'not right for a player of his stature', says ex-Germany colleague Lukas Podolski

Lukas Podolski is less than impressed with Jose Mourinho's treatment of Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The Galatasaray forward has hit out at the Manchester United boss after seeing his former Germany and Bayern Munich team-mate forced out of the picture at Old Trafford.

Schweinsteiger joined United from Bayern ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. The 32-year-old struggled to make an impact in Manchester, partially due to injury problems, before new manager Mourinho quickly decided he no longer needed the German.

This season Schweinsteiger has been dropped to the reserves, much to the dismay of Podolski.
