Bastian Schweinsteiger returns to Manchester United training after four month exile

Bastian Schweinsteiger has returned to first-team training with Manchester United, after months of exile from Jose Mourinho’s squad.

The former Germany international had been forced to train on his own this season, with Mourinho making it clear that the 32-year-old was not part of his plans.
But Schweinsteiger was spotted back in training with his team-mates on Monday, just days after being left out of the club’s squad photograph.

He was pictured smiling during the session with Wayne Rooney, who looked delighted to see his team-mate return to the fold, as well as coming under the watchful eye of Mourinho.
Phil Jones was also back in first-team training after returning for injury, as was the unfancied Henrikh Mkhitaryan, alongside a host of more regular stars.
Whether this will mean a return to the match-day squad for the World Cup winner or not is unknown, but it is a start for Schweinsteiger, who had also trained with the Under-23 side this season.
He was a regular member of Louis van Gaal’s side last year when fit, although injuries limited the former Bayern Munich man to just 13 Premier League games.
