All twitter is pointing to he's not for sale & will be held to his contract. Where do you get United dont want him or have turned him down from that?

Apparently he doesn't want to leave Spain, anyway there are plenty of CM targets out there I'm not fussed. I'm sure we will sign at least 2 CMs this summer.
I'd rather not have Schweini. Think he's on the way down and he's picked up a fair few injuries.
What information are you running with to make that assumption - the same source(s) that only said yesterday we'd agreed a £20m deal for Kroos?
This is classic transfer muppetry - one day folk will cream themselves & the next day they will say it was never on in the first place for varying reasons.
It was only yesterday you seemed keen that a deal could be done, but much more than the £20m quoted:
We'll sign 2 midfielders and all is fine and dandy? I think we need two top midfielders, not just any old shite. We'll get Strootman and Clasie and it'll be a minor upgrade on Carrick and Cleverley. I'm sure Liverpool/City/Arsenal/Chelsea will be bricking it.
Any team in the league would take Schweinsteiger. I don't think we are in the position to be picky.
On the night of 3rd January 1995, I was awoken by the gentle sound of breaking glass. My now heightened senses caught the nearly inaudible scraping that followed, as my bedroom window slid open. A shadow figure oozed through the narrow gap and glided across the floor towards my bed. Terrified I was about to be devoured by a terrible beast or molested by a child predator, I tried desperately to hide under the covers. But the figure was too quick, too slippery and in a split second his dirty, moist lips were pressed up to my ear canal. What followed was far worse than the most terrible nightmares my overactive imagination could muster.
"Fergie has ruled out the possibility of bringing a top class striker partner to Old Trafford for Eric Cantona." The creepy, wispy voice said. "They've also turned down the chance to sign Roberto Baggio" it went on. "read all about it in tomorrow's Guardian".
And with that, the figure disappeared through the still open window. As he left, the moonlight briefly caught his face and I swore I would never forget the visage that peered back at me.
7 days later United signed Andy Cole and I knew Jamie Jackson was a tosser. I was just 14 years old.
Not really.

I thought he already said he wasn't moving?
Because he doesn't want to leave Spain.
Liverpool nearly won the league with a midfield of Gerrard, Allen and Henderson.
We have Mata to play as the most forward of the three so Strootman and someone else of comparable quality should be alright.
Could we make Anderson and Cleverley work in midfield and forget about signing anyone? I remember they played well together once before.
I like this line of thought. Therefore I conclude Jamie Jackson is talking shit and we'll sign one of Kroos or Fabregas on the grounds that there is no one else.
Folks won't like hearing it, but I think Schneiderlin would be a terrific signing. He's already one of the better midfielders in the league and he's still quite young. I'd be content with he and Stroots.
They played well together multiple times to start that season.
Lol as if Bayern would say, 'You can't have Kroos, but you can have Schweiny'
There we have it then. Problem solved.
Previously we were going to sign everyone and ended up with no one, this time we're denying we're signing anyone....
.....yes?
.....yes?
Why do you even joke about something like this? The season opener would be as fun as a funeral if that happened to come true.
I rate him but I'm still hoping we can get a Kroos/Fabregas calibre of player
Quoted the wrong person there...
Well no, not really. We've already been through the 'signing everyone' phase. It just ended a bit quicker this summer. Fabregas, Reus, Kroos and Carvalho already chalked off, along with others I've no doubt forgotten about.
Window hasn't even opened yet and we're already looking like clowns 
Save us Moyes!
That's what Argos did when my mum ordered a steam mop that was out of stock. So I'd assume football clubs operate on entirely the same principles.
Obviously they're first choice but Schneiderlin is a nice fail-safe option. Only problem is if United are reaching towards the end of the window and Saints want a mass amount of money for him.
You just knew the club were setting themselves up for one almighty fall this Summer
Should just get the signings done first then do all the talking about how many great players we can sign. The clubs being run my complete amateurs these days,

Is that a Fellaini reference?
They probably would though. Sure it's looking likely that Shaw, Lallana and Lovren are all on their way out. They'd probably want crazy money for Schneiderlin after that.
Hardly. You can't clean a floor with a pile of shite, no matter how much steam is rising from it.
No I was very much aware yesterday, as I am today that in this transfer the major stumbling was always going to be Munich themselves.
My take on this is that it has become apparent Munich ain't budging so Uld have quite rightly moved on.
Which wa always the most likely outcome.
So no Kroos or Fabregas and Strootman turned us down? fecking marvellous
Strootman turned us down?
We don't want a functional midfield. It's the only reasoning.
This thread is like a car crash
I'm starting to think Van Gaal may not sign anyone for CM to indulge his God complex, a bit like fergie.
Fergie won the league with Carrick and Cleverly, Van Gaal wants to best him by winning the treble.

Yep, regretting coming on tonight. Been quite excited/optimistic so far. I seriously hope we sign Shaw and a CM in the next week
If we don't sign at least two midfielers we might as well just accept next season as another write off.
Dramatic but I fully agree.
Can we finally get over the fact none of the papers have a fecking clue about anything? Stop giving them the click revenue.
