Schweinsteiger On United & Mourinho: "They Kicked Me Out.”

I'm Polish and have to admit, watching Bastian play for Germany was always a treat and a pleasure. As a kid my favourite midfielder was Ballack, as a teenager it was Bastian. I wish he played for Schalke, not nearly as prestigeous as Bayern or United but they'd sure treat him as he deserved.

It was arrogant and stupid and he decided before even meeting him. Completely classless behaviour that embarrasses united.

[@JMatthew131]

@@hurrayforanonyms He probably was upset LVG left. He played 18 league games in 2 years that is not a model professional. He was finished and by the sounds of it wasn't interested in moving on until he was forced. Only hearing one side of the story here.

Absolut fantastisches Interview - sehr gut gemacht, Gary!

[@jordandavies1255]

This interview was WAY too short! Absolute gentleman. Gutted to hear how he was treated at United.

[@davidendsor219]

How he was treated was a disgrace, not for one minute do i believe that mourinho was sorry. from the day he arrived to the day he left he caused chaos in the dressing room, in the club and even the fans. Divisive character and i was very pleased when he left. Breath of fresh air listening to Bastian, what a man...

[@SydPeppa]

Warm, Kind and one of a kind. Won a ton of major trophies. Love the interview.

[@muhammadsyahir140]

What a player world class! Really enjoyed the interview.

[@alexandrekambs6818]

These youngsters coming through, Sancho and these crybaby, attention seeking, Instagram players need to learn these values, attitude and levels of class from Schweinsteiger what a true professional footballer. A true winner indeed.

[@haxkztasy]

he didnt win anything, after that he went to the MLS and ended his career. So overall he didnt win anything for not going to the media and actually was able to be bullied out of a Club. as a Young player like Sancho, you dont wanna be silent and be bullied out of a club to then make a transfer to a small little club cause he vanished from the eyes of the public. Thats literally when you create way more problems, esp. Clubs thinking they are able to ruin someones career if they want to without being punished for it.

[@mikecolquitt94]

That was brilliant, I'm gutted this episode wasn't on for longer! What a professional & what a captain he sounds like he'd make a great manager

[@camj17]

Gary certainly delivers with these interviews! Another great video

[@jonathanmcconnell9855]

These are phenomenal - and Basti is a fantastic character and reflective guy. We wasted him at United. Gary continues to kill it.

[@BigSmokeMUFC]

Not "we" the ungrateful Jose wasted him. Blame Jose

[@uzzimoola]

Love these insights offered by former pros

[@intergalacticmuffin7071]

loved Bastian as a player, but United did him so dirty. Man is a class act and a great interview

[@KabirSingh-vj3tc]

Hearing how he was treated, saddens me... United supporters were always happy to see Basti!

[@alemayehugemeda]

Let's face it, lads, we are being spoiled with quality content on this channel 👌🏾

[@cyno16]

Basti was my all time favourite, I still get goosebumps thinking abt his performance in the World Cup final .. whenever I see Jose Mourinho slump in his career I feel sorry for him but now I feel it’s fair that he has slumped completely

[@k4yser]

Him playing with a bloodsoaken face on limbs in the final was such an iconic picture. I adore him ever since in terms of fighting spirit.

[@bierundkippen720]

@@k4yser That's what he was pointing to speaking about the mentality in the German team. That spirit got lost because Löw wanted to copy Pep.

[@Saint_x_David]

What a great guy and a class act! And a top footballer as well! The shift he put into winning the World Cup for Germany was off the scale, he was a warrior! So sad to hear how Woodward and Jose treated him! United fans loved him and still do!

[@Rapid270]

I remember Bastian breaking through as a wonderkid on the wing for club and country then becoming an all round complete midfielder! Toni Kroos is like the closest resemblance to him in the modern era. A true class act on and off the field 👏🏽 Great content, thanks guys

[@FMZweierkette]

This interview is class - and I'm very thankful to have been alive just in time to follow Schweinsteiger's career from his first game for Bayern to lifting the world cup to retirement. What a legend of the game!

[@ManasSatzhanov]

Such a gentleman. So self aware. Totally agree with him on his Pep take, I always thought the same thing, bold and honest take. His insights against prime Barca team was top notch 👏🏼

[@mpblolly]

Great to hear a foreign view. I like this balanced opinion etc and not just the English view of things. Great interview.

[@TheOverlap]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤝

This is why I have so much respect and love for Basti. I hope some of the current UTD players are watching this. THIS is how you act during adversity. No media, just focus on what you need to do. No talk. No BS. Work hard even if things don't work out.

[@christopherc6103]

Wow, the first part was extremely difficult for him to share as I already felt terrible by simply listening to him. Massive respect to this proper gentleman on and off the field
