Out-of-favour midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has confirmed he will not play for another European club after Manchester United.
The World Cup winner has been strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford after being told he does not feature in new boss Jose Mourinho's plans.
But despite being forced to train with the Under-23s at United, Schweinsteiger has remained professional throughout and has since released a statement addressing where his future lies.
"MUFC will be my last club in Europe," Schweinsteiger wrote on Twitter. "I respect other clubs, but Manchester United was the only one which could make me leave Bayern Munich.
"I will be ready, if the team needs me. This is all I can say about my current situation.
"I want to thanks the fans for the amazing support over the recent weeks."
Schweinsteiger's statement has fuelled speculation he could now be set for a move either to the United States or China in January.
The 32-year-old, who still has two years remaining on his contract after joining United from Bayern Munich last summer, could also opt to see out the remainder of his deal before moving on a free transfer.
