Deal Done: Forward agrees Manchester United deal as Louis van Gaal personally

Van Gaal led United to fourth in his first season at the helm, returning the Old Trafford club to the UEFA Champions League after a seventh-placed finish in the previous campaign.

Bayern Munich is steadfastly opposing his sale, but Manchester United are still pushing at the door.

And while manager Pep Guardiola is unlikely to stand in his way – following a series of bust-ups with the Germany worldwide – the Express claimed that chief executive Karl-Heinze Rummenigge wanted to keep Muller at all costs. I do not know, anything can happen.

And it is such ongoing negotiations that are beginning to frustrate Pedro, and have resulted in his 72 hour ultimatum to the Premier League heavyweights.

When asked why Schweinsteiger wasn’t in the team, Scholes said on BT Sport: “I have absolutely no idea”.

“I can promise that I will attempt with all my experience to help Manchester United to the global level of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern“, Schweisteiger continued.

Schweinsteiger, speaking in an exclusive interview with Bild, said: ‘When you know how the coach ticks, and how he wants to play football, it makes the decision easier.

Schweinsteiger made his debut as a substitute in the second half of United’s 1-0 win over Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Despite the slow start to his Premier League career, Schweinsteiger feels welcomed in Manchester by his new fans. Just like when he took over at Bayern. It gave me goose bumps.
