Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says the club should not stop Paul Pogba from leaving.

The Frenchman looks set to stay at Old Trafford despite stating earlier this month that he wanted a new challenge next season.

Juventus and Real Madrid are still interested in the World Cup winner, and Schweinsteiger thinks United should sell him for their own good.

In an interview with BBC Sport, former Germany captain Schweinsteiger said: "If a player wants to leave the club, you shouldn't stop him.

"You need players who are 100% into the club and care about the club, that's the only way you can survive at the top level and have success.

"Paul is a great player, he is just looking for a team where he can play the same style that he does with the France national team, so if you give him that kind of team around him, he would be happy at United."
