Bastian Schweinsteiger's time at Manchester United looks to be nearing the end.

The 32-year-old has been frozen out by manager Jose Mourinho and after reports emerged that he is no longer training with the first-team squad, things are looking bleak for the former Germany captain.

Schweinsteiger has now admitted that his future could lie in the MLS after New York City FC expressed their interest in the former Bayern Munich midfielder.

In an interview with Germany's ZDF television, he says that his future could lie in New York but he admits 'his dream' is to play for Manchester United again:

'New York is a great city, but I have a contract with United until 2018 and you know what the atmosphere is like at Old Trafford. It's my dream to run out there again.

'I hope I get the chance to help the team again.

'I'm the kind of person who lives on intuition. I don't think of planning ahead. I like to live and enjoy the moment.

'I still love football too much and that means being on the field - that is what I am thinking about.

'I'm enjoying it too much at the moment and I hope that it continues for a few more years yet.'

According to reports, no official talks have taken place but Patrick Vieria's side do want to discuss a potential transfer.
