Bastian Schweinsteiger will be given the choice of whether to stay or leave Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola has said.
The 30-year-old Germany midfielder has been linked with a move to Manchester United where the World Cup winner would be reunited with Louis van Gaal, the manager who moved him from being a wide player to having a central role during his time at Bayern.
“If Schweinsteiger wants to stay here then that’s perfect. He’s a top player,” Guardiola, the Bayern coach, said. “Of course I am planning to work with Basti next season. Basti has to decide.
“Basti has managed a great career. He must decide what he does alone. I told him, the future depends on you.“
Schweinsteiger came through the youth ranks at Bayern and has spent 13 seasons with the German champions, winning the Bundesliga title eight times.
