Franz Beckenbauer has advised Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger not go to England.

Schweinsteiger also insists the hunger has not left his game after winning the Champions League, Bundesliga and World Cup in the past three seasons. 

"I would love to win the Champions League once again," he said. "Winning big trophies like the Champions League or the World Cup is usually making people think 'The player are not hungry any more'. Still that's not what I feel."

United have been linked with a number of midfielders and Skybet have suspended betting on Southampton's Morgan Schneiderlin moving to Old Trafford as van Gaal narrows down his summer search.
