Bastian Schweinsteiger is predicting a "special season" at Old Trafford as Jose Mourinho edges closer to becoming Man United manager.

Former Chelsea manager Mourinho described United as a "monster club" last October and midfielder Schweinsteiger is excited by his impending arrival at Old Trafford.

"We don't know who will be our new manager yet, but it looks like it's going to be an interesting derby in Manchester next season," the Germany captain said, with Pep Guardiola arriving at the Etihad Stadium.

"The enthusiasm for football in Manchester is great and, if Mourinho does take over at United, I think all of the players want to train under him so it's going to be quite a special season."
