You don't just shut a player out the way he did, only to bring him back. For me, it would be a huge sign of weakness if Mourinho even considers it. It was his call, he dealt with him the way he wanted and now he has to be firm.

It takes a great man to admit his own mistake, id respect him even more if he went that route.

It was his call, he dealt with him the way he wanted and now he has to stand by his own decision. Our clubs a circus at the moment, can't imagine how other players would feel if Bastian is back - borderline desperation.

I'm not sure if it's a sign of weakness though. Capello shut Beckham out of the squad for a while, then later brought him back and won the league.
 
Somewhere sipping tea.... sigh
 
Yeah its Fellainis fault..its always Fellainis fault.

not only Fellia though...

He's shite mate, okay he's been playing his heart out, but even his best isn't good enough.

If you think it is your kidding yourself mate.

Im not kidding myself about his ability I know he has limitations. Id just like to know how people get off blaming him when the worlds most expensive player cant stay in his position for shit and the england captain is slow as feck.

I'm aware of Pogba's lack of self-discipline, but I'm also aware that given the correct partner he'd be less inclined to stray and get caught out of position. I actually think both players lack discipline and get dragged into all sorts of positions they shouldn't.

Fellaini is playing out of his skin at the moment, it's not good enough though. I'd much prefer the Basti or Carrick, their experience would be huge, rotate the pair of them and feck off the average players.

Voices in Mourinho's head would ceaselessly start calling him out a 'pussy'...

Would be worth a try in my opinion. Even though they are old, but both players can dictate the game and have a much better build-up play compared to Herrera, Schneiderlin or Fellaini. Just rotate them, but I guess Schweinsteiger is utterly out of the question. Mourinho made his decision.. . Just look at Alonso, old but still influential for Bayern. Schweinsteiger and Carrick just have to rest now and then (which should be easy, since the squad is big enough).
 
Schweini pissed off half the dressing room from the sound of it.

As much as we could use him (if fit) bringing him back now would probably go down like a sack of shit.
 
I know whenever a player is out of the team and the team has a loss there's always a massive clamour for said player, but it really does seem like Schweinsteiger has something to offer. A league cup outing could be something of a litmus test.

I don't know what Bastian could've done to really piss off half the squad, but by that logic they should be playing Spanish Inquisition with Rooney.

I mean, if they really care about every player earning his minutes or actually trying to win
 
We would rather play a striker in CM over a World Cup winner.

shambles.
 
I genuinely think he should be considered going forward.
Same here. I think him and Pogba could be a good partnership. Pogba had Pirlo at Juventus. He needs that experience beside him at United. Rooney isn't it. Thats laughable to even suggest. He's doesn't even remotely resemble a midfielder.
 
currently laughing his cock off polishing his world cup medal
Mourinho needs to swallow his ego and patch up with him. The team desperately needs some actual leadership in the middle of the park.

And i reckon Schweinsteiger will be well up for it as well, and have a feeling of something to prove. Unlike Captain Fantabulous, who has absolutely nothing to prove to anyone.
 
The sad/ironic thing is that a fit Schweinsteiger would be exactly what Pogba would need to start producing
 
People are re-writing history. First, Schweini has not been fit or good enough last season. 2nd, he has not played in ages. What makes you think he'd be our savior? We need to forget him

He was better than Carrick last season. Who was hardly great but a lot of people keen to rewrite history about Carrick.

He was the best midfielder we had....not saying he was great or even good but he was the best of a bad bunch. Interestingly, he is the only one who doesnt deserve to play again for us because he wasnt at required level, for others we just ignore their level of performances in past year or so....
 
The only time the philosophy or whatever the feck we were trying last season looked competent was with Schweinsteiger playing. The game against Everton at Goodison was our best all season, and he was the best player on the pitch

Werent we top before he got injured? :P
 
He was our best midfielder last season when he was fit. When he was fit.

Our defense was a shambles from the start of the season to the end of the season, but we held a good defensive record early on when Schweinsteiger was playing and fit. He did a very good job of keeping things calm, organized and he took exceptional care of the ball.

The moment he would go off, or the moment he was out injured, it all went tits up. Every time the other team counter attacked, we were disorganized, in disarray and looked freaking terrible.
 
He was proper wank last season but the one accusation you can't throw at him is that he's isn't a proper team oriented player.
Class of a man. Hasn't uttered one negative word about the club.
 
Bastian should be played if only to get the best out of Pogba. It's no good playing two headless chickens alongside each other, better to drop Fellaini and play Basti instead and let him help Pogba.
 
Yes he should play because we need our game to be even slower, just get a grip some of you here... it's a desperate situation but dropping rooney and consistent gametime and trust in Herrera, Schneiderlin and Pogba will come good soon, Carrick can alternate there in easier games and we are good, we don't need Sweinsteigger at all, he's a surplus and he should be of our books..

He's left that all to his buddies back in Bavaria.
 
We have a world cup winner who has now retired from international football. He can offer so much on and off the field yet we have just cast him aside. Pathetic.

Its ok we have Rooney, captain fantastic
