Louis van Gaal has said he was unhappy with the way Manchester United successor Jose Mourinho treated Bastian Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger made a brief return to the squad before joining Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire last March, when Mourinho admitted regret at the way he handled things - treatment that irked predecessor Van Gaal. "Schweinsteiger was, of course, older but not too old," the former United boss told Sport Bild. "How Mourinho treated him after me, Schweini did not deserve this. "It's a shame because he is a player like Luis Enrique, Mark van Bommel or Philipp Lahm - the guys who always present on the pitch."
