7 Things Bastian Schweinsteiger Has Been Doing With All The Free Time Mourinho Gave Him

With Manchester United clearly struggling to find a midfield pairing that works, it's looking more and more bizarre that Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger has been completely eliminated from the discussion.

Granted, it's the manager's decision and the hoopla around the "humiliation" he caused to Schweinsteiger was over the top, but it does seem odd that Mourinho has decided that Bastian can simply no longer play football.

But what has Schweiny been up to in the couple of months where he has been given an advanced preview of what retirement looks like?

Judging by his social media accounts.. He's doing grand. Having a bit of a laugh and still showing support for Manchester United.

Reflecting on happier times...

Remember when he played a vital role in a World Cup win roughly 15 months ago?

Ein unglaublich emotionaler Abend - die Atmosphäre war überwältigend! Bedanken möchte ich mich auch bei den Trainern, der Mannschaft und dem Team dahinter für 12 unvergessliche Jahre mit unzähligen Höhepunkten und einzigartigen Momenten. Es war immer etwas Besonderes mit den Jungs und für die Fans spielen zu dürfen. Ich wünsche der Nationalmannschaft viel Erfolg und alles Gute für den weiteren Weg! #DieMannschaft It was a very emotional evening for me – the atmosphere was absolutely overwhelming! I want to also thank the coaches, the team and everybody involved for 12 unforgettable years with countless highlights and exceptional moments. It was always a special experience to play with the team and for our fans. I wish the national team great success and all the best for the future. @dfb_team

Cosplay. He's so bored he's turned to cosplay. Sweet suffering Jesus. (We're aware it's an ad)

The pace may be gone, but he's got time to stengthen other areas.

Look at what you have done to him, Mourinho.

Still showing support for Manchester United.

You've got to hand it to him, he has dealt with this situation, at least publicly, with total class.

All the best to your birthday, my friend! Enjoy your day ? @waynerooney
