· Pep Guardiola says ‘he must decide alone’
· Manchester United linked with 30-year-old midfielder
Bastian Schweinsteiger was at Wimbledon to watch his girlfriend Ana Ivanovic get knocked out in the second round.
Bastian Schweinsteiger will be given the choice of whether to stay or leave Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola has said.
The 30-year-old Germany midfielder has been linked with a move to Manchester United where the World Cup winner would be reunited with Louis van Gaal, the manager who moved him from being a wide player to having a central role during his time at Bayern.
“If Schweinsteiger wants to stay here then that’s perfect. He’s a top player,” Guardiola, the Bayern coach, said. “Of course I am planning to work with Basti next season. Basti has to decide.
“Basti has managed a great career. He must decide what he does alone. I told him, the future depends on you.“
Schweinsteiger came through the youth ranks at Bayern and has spent 13 seasons with the German champions, winning the Bundesliga title eight times.
