Manchester United Manager, Jose Mourinho has confirmed Bastian Schweinsteiger will be staying at Manchester United and will be added to their Europa League squad.
The 32-year-old Germany made his first start of the season in the 4-0 thrashing of Wigan in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday – only his third appearance of the campaign.
Mourinho said: “Yes, he is staying. He is going to in the Europa League list because we opened spaces with (Memphis) Depay and (Morgan) Schneiderlin (leaving).
“We don’t have many players, and we don’t have many options in midfield. Ninety minutes (against Wigan) was probably too for Bastian, from minutes 65-70 it was hard for him but now I think he is happy.
“He was a good professional when he was not playing, and after having some minutes he will be the same. With so many competitions and games he will be an option.”
