Former Bayern Munich player and World Cup winner Franz Beckenbauer has advised Bastian Schweinsteiger not to join Manchester United.
The 30-year-old German has one year remaining on his Munich contract and has been heavily linked with a summer move to Old Trafford.
However, Beckenbauer thinks that he should remain with Munich and then finish his career in America.
He is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "Adapting to a different European league is difficult at his age. He has played with great force and put a lot of pressure on his body for many years. That saps energy. He could end his career in the USA instead.
"If I was in Schweini's place, I would stay one or two years more at Bayern. Until then, he can still perform at the highest level."
Schweinsteiger has spent his entire club career with the German giants.
