Schweinsteiger, who has been forced to train with the reserves since Jose Mourinho arrived in Manchester, currently has a deal that runs until 2018, in which time the German’s would salary would amount to €18m.

If the club and the ostracised player can come to an agreement, it would potentially save the Reds €7m.
