Schweinsteiger departs from club's squad for the Europa League group stage. Schweinsteiger has been forced to train with United's reserve this season as new boss Jose Mourinho looks to sell the German World Cup winner. The thirty two years old has now to participate under Mourinho, who has told the former Bayern Munich star it will be “very difficult” to give him any playing time this season. Schweinsteiger enlisted in United's Premier League squad but he will be ineligible to play in Europe after being excluded from the list of 27 players submitted to UEFA.
