Bastian Schweinsteiger has said José Mourinho banned him from the first-team dressing room without explanation when he was at Mancester United, kickstarting a months-long exile.

Schweinsteiger had already lifted eight Bundesliga titles, as well as the Champions League and World Cup, before ending a 13-year stay at Bayern Munich in 2015 to join Louis van Gaal's United.
