Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer is urging Bastian Schweinsteiger to resist a move to Manchester United.

The Germany international is a top target for United manager Louis van Gaal.

But Beckenbauer says: "I would advise him not to go to England. He can stay here as well. This challenge, at his age, it's not what he needs.

"I would play one or two more years in Munich, at this high level."
