Schweinsteiger back with Man United first team

Manchester United outcast Bastian Schweinsteiger rejoined first-team training on Monday.

The former Germany captain, 32, has not played a minute for the club since Jose Mourinho's arrival and seemed certain to spend the entire season out in the cold.

One of Mourinho's first moves was to remove the former Bayern Munich midfielder from the senior squad's training sessions and he was not even named in the club's Europa League list.

United sit eighth in the Premier League after 10 matches and whether their modest recent run has prompted a change of heart is unknown.
