Man Utd Closing In On Schweinsteiger

Bayern Munich have agreed to sell Bastian Schweinsteiger to Manchester United and the two clubs are holding further talks, according to Sky sources.

Negotiations have reached an advanced stage, but no deal has been struck yet. Schweinsteiger is back in Munich after spending time in London watching his girlfriend Ana Ivanovic playing at Wimbledon.
Earlier this week Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admitted the midfielder had been "flattered" by the interest from United.
The 30-year-old Germany player has only a year left to run on his current contract with Bayern while talks over a new deal do not appear to be on the agenda.

Schweinsteiger played under United boss Louis van Gaal at Bayern, winning a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, part of his collection of eight Bundesliga titles and seven domestic cup triumphs for the Bavarian club.
On Thursday Rummenigge said: "I spoke to Bastian Schweinsteiger on the phone while on holiday and we're going to meet again when he's back.
"I'm not going to hide the fact that I discerned from these talks that he is flattered by the interest from England."
German newspaper Bild claims United will have to pay Bayern around £15m and will offer Schweinsteiger a three-year contract.
