Manchester United close in Schweinsteiger deal

Manchester United are closing in on a deal for Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, according to reports.

United are confident they can tempt Schweinsteiger away from Germany.

And according to the Sunday Mirror, the Red Devils are nearing a £7.5million deal to land the midfield star. 

The Germany international has one year left on his contract and Louis van Gaal has tasked transfer negotiator Ed Woodward to make the move happen. 

It is thought that Schweinsteiger is tempted by the prospect of reuniting with Van Gaal, whom he played under at Bayern from 2009-2011. 

Germany legend Lothar Matthaus said: “Schweinsteiger needs a coach who will play him according to his strengths, and Van Gaal will do that."
