Manchester United Transfer News: Bastian Schweinsteiger, Angel Di Maria Warnings

Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer has had his say on the summer's transfer rumours, including Bastian Schweinsteiger's potential departure from the Allianz Arena to Old Trafford.

Schweinsteiger has been touted as a potential target for Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal as he looks to bolster his squad for a title challenge next season, per Simon Stone of BBC Sport.

The 30-year-old Germany captain made only 15 starts for Bayern under boss Pep Guardiola last season and has one year left on his contract with the Bundesliga champions, per WhoScored.com.

He could be persuaded away to Manchester by the promise of regular first-team football and the chance to link up again with former boss Van Gaal.
