Tobi Schweinsteiger has pop at Man Utd boss Mourinho

Bastian Schweinsteiger's brother Tobias has appeared to have taken a thinly veiled swipe at Jose Mourinho.

After news emerged that the German midfielder had been ordered to train with United's reserves, his older brother indicated that perhaps Red Devils manager Mourinho is showing a lack of respect.

It is understood that Schweinsteiger, who won the 2014 World Cup with Germany as well as more than 20 trophies with Bayern Munich, has moved his belongings out of the United first-team dressing room at Carrington to set up camp with the reserves as his future with the club looks clouded.

Tobi wrote a simple message on Twitter which read: “No respect."

We can't be sure if this is directed at Mourinho but we can only guess it is as the Tweet was posted not long after the reports emerged.
