Winning run ahead of Manchester derby important for United: Rooney

Germany’s friendly against Finland in Moenchengladbach on Wednesday doubles as Schweinsteiger’s farewell on his 121st – and final – worldwide appearance when he will captain die Mannschaft for the last time.

Bastian Schweinsteiger wants to continue playing for Manchester United this season, even though manager Jose Mourinho said last week that the former Germany captain is unlikely to figure in his plans.

Rashford’s injury-time goal clinched the victory for Jose Mourinho’s side, sending the away supporters into rapturous applause, with many of them pouring out onto the pitch.

“My dream is to play for Manchester United”, the 32-year-old told reporters at a Germany news conference on Tuesday, reflecting on his bad luck with injuries last season.

“America is, of course, an option”, Schweinsteiger added.

The arrival of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona appears set to force Hart out of the club ahead of the transfer window closing on Wednesday.

“My dream remains to play for Manchester United”.

“It’s my dream still to play for Manchester United and if I get a fair chance, I believe in it. Let him go and have a feel playing for the Under-21s; hopefully he’s a star for them, scores goals for them and gives me that decision next time around on the next squad I pick”.

“I think it can be a distraction [for the national team]. The USA is certainly an option, should it come to that”. “I think the Champions League final (defeat to Chelsea in 2012) in Munich was harder to get over. It is a tough business and, unfortunately, not just a sport”.

“I played on until I was nearly 36 and would not have been able to do that had I played any longer for England”.

Bayern trio Manuel Neuer, who was skipper for five of their six Euro 2016 matches, Jerome Boateng and Thomas Mueller are all vying for the armband with Neuer as the favourite.
