Schweinsteiger played his final international game in Germany’s 2-0
friendly win over Finland in Monchengladbach on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old made his Germany debut in June 2004 and ended his international career with 121 caps and 24 goals.
Mourinho
said last week it would be “very difficult” but not impossible for
Schweinsteiger to feature under him for United this season.
