The brother of Bastian Schweinsteiger appeared to accuse Jose Mourinho of a lack of respect on Monday after it emerged that the World Cup winning Germany midfielder had been banished from Manchester United’s first team dressing room by the club’s new manager.

Mourinho told Schweinsteiger last week that he does not figure in his plans and is free to find another club this summer, with the former Bayern Munich player likely to be the most high-profile casualty of the Portuguese’s extensive clear-out as he paves the way for Paul Pogba’s anticipated arrival at Old Trafford.

But the situation has now taken a more dramatic development with Schweinsteiger forced to relocate to the reserve team’s dressing room, a huge embarrassment for the midfielder, who turned 32 on Monday, and the clearest sign yet of Mourinho’s uncompromising decision-making at United.
