Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says that his ex-Bayern Munich teammate Thomas Muller should consider a move to Old Trafford.

Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has claimed that his ex-Bayern Munich teammate Thomas Muller should consider a move to Old Trafford.

Schweinsteiger left the Allianz Arena in 2015 to complete a move to United, where he made 35 appearances before leaving to end his career in the MLS.

Muller has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester in recent weeks, with the German struggling to earn a regular role in Niko Kovac's starting XI.

Schweinsteiger has claimed that former United boss Louis van Gaal wanted to sign Muller after he had joined the Red Devils, and the 35-year-old believes that his former teammate should now consider a switch to Old Trafford.

"Van Gaal really wanted him, always asked me, 'What's your friend Thomas [Muller] doing?' He would have done us good on United back then," he told Bild am Sonntag.

"But Thomas was a bit younger, he did not want to leave Munich. Maybe that has changed in the meantime. His situation is different to mine back then. I was playing every game, then van Gaal contacted me, I wanted to try something new. Thomas is often on the bench lately, a change of air can do him good at the end of his career. He still has great quality."

Muller is yet to score in 10 Bundesliga appearances during the 2019-20 campaign, although the 30-year-old has provided six assists in 15 outings in all competitions.
