Rummenigge: I feel sorry for Schweini - but he's not returning to Bayern

The midfielder has been deemed surplus to requirements at Manchester United, but the Bundesliga side's executive chairman insists they have not considered bringing him back

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has ruled out the possibility of Bastian Schweinsteiger returning to Bayern Munich, but once again took aim at Manchester United's treatment of their former midfielder.

Schweinsteiger won eight Bundesliga titles, seven DFB-Pokals and the Champions League during his time at Bayern before moving to Old Trafford ahead of the 2015-16 season.

However, the former Germany captain has been deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Jose Mourinho and has reportedly been training with the club's reserves.
