Schweinsteiger to quit United for Chicago Fire
Print Edition
MANCHESTER United’s German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has signed a one-year deal to join Chicago Fire, the Major League Soccer club announced yesterday.
The 32-year-old endured a difficult spell under coach Jose Mourinho, having fallen out of favor since the Portuguese arrived at the club at the start of the current campaign.
Schweinsteiger spent 13 seasons with Bayern Munich, winning eight Bundesliga titles, seven German Cups and the Champions League in 2013. He was part of the 2014 World Cup-winning squad and represented his country 121 times before retiring last July. But he never got a chance under Mourinho, with Germany coach Joachim Loew saying Schweinsteiger could have helped United.
“I talked with him and he said he gave it everything in the past few months. There was some hope but for the longer term Manchester United were maybe planning without him,” Loew said yesterday. “It is a shame that it ended that way at Manchester. He could have helped them, in my opinion. He could have been their organizer in that midfield position.”
