Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has slammed Jose Mourinho's treatment of German legend Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Can played alongside Schweinsteiger at Bayern Munich and is saddened by the Manchester United midfielder's current plight.

The 32-year-old has been frozen out by Mourinho and Can believes United have shown him a lack of respect.

“I know Schweinsteiger very well and I used to play with him,” Can said.

“He’s a very good guy and he’s a legend. I don’t know what happened there but I think they don’t have too much respect for him.

“It’s a pity because he’s a very good guy. He’s always somebody who worked hard and is always a gentleman.

“When I first came up to the first team (at Bayern Munich) he was the first one who came to me and said: 'If you need something come to me'.

“That was a big help. I was very thankful for that and it's something I'll never forget.”
