cheap messi jersey Van Gaal accepts that the midfielder was past his peak by the time he came to Old Trafford, but he has still criticised the way the 33-year-old was treated by his successor.
“Schweinsteiger was older, of course, but not too old,” Van Gaal told Sport Bild. “Still, his body was not able to keep up with the high demands of the Premier League.
“Bayern sold him to us as a fit player, but, in reality, physically he had reached the end.
“How Mourinho treated him after me, Schweini did not deserve this. But it also explains how things were with Schweinsteiger.
“It’s a shame because he is a player like Luis Enrique, cheap neymar jersey Mark van Bommel or Philipp Lahm, a character always present on the pitch.”
Van Gaal has yet to return to management since departing United in 2016.
