Man Utd, Chelsea target Schweinsteiger ready to make decision on future

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is close to making a decision on his future.

Manchester United and Chelsea are among clubs chasing the Germany star.

"My goal is to win the Champions League and I've always said that I can do that at other clubs," Schweinsteiger told German television channel Sport1.

If Schweinsteiger does decide his future lies elsewhere, Bayern may consider selling him at the end of the season, rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.

But, on the positive side, the 26-year-old believes Bayern are heading in the right direction under current boss Louis van Gaal, who took the club to the Champions League final last season and won the domestic double.

He added: "Yes, I am leaning towards a decision (about my future).

"Bayern's footballing skills have developed greatly in the last year, which was nice to see."
