Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is furious with Bastian Schweinsteiger after he turned down a move to Sporting CP.
The Daily Star says United even agreed to pay part of the German midfielder's £190,000-a-week wages in Portugal.
But the 32-year-old World Cup winner dug in his heels and told Mourinho he would not go.
The angry United boss has vowed not to play the midfielder again despite Schweinsteiger claiming he is still determined to forced his way back into the picture.
Mourinho has already axed him from his first-team squad and suggested he would rather pick hopefuls out of the youth team to play in midfield.
