a move to Manchester United in recent weeks and
will discuss his future with the club soon
Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
admits Bastian Schweinsteiger is “flattered” by
interest from the Premier League, amid links with
Manchester United.
The Bavarian giants’ sporting director, Matthias
Sammer, admitted last week that Schweinsteiger
could leave the club this summer, while manager
Pep Guardiola insists only the midfielder can
decide his future .
United are believed to have identified the Germany
international as a potential acquisition as they
embark on a major squad overhaul this summer,
with the club having missed out on Borussia
Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.
Rummenigge says Schweinsteiger is aware of
interest from England and claims that he will meet
the World Cup winner to discuss his future later
this summer.
"I make no secret about it that, in our
conversations, it sounds like he is flattered from
the interest in England,” he told reporters.
"I talked to him during his vacation. We will meet
each other, when he is back.
"Our plans are not finished yet. The window is
open until August 31.”
Schweinsteiger made 28 appearances in all
competitions last season, scoring five goals.
