Has Schweinsteiger struggled? German legend hits out at Man United boss Louis van Gaal
LOUIS VAN GAAL's treatment of Bastian Schweinsteiger is wrong, claims Germany legend Oliver Bierhoff.
Oliver Bierhoff has hit out at Louis van Gaal over his criticism of Bastian Schweinsteiger
Schweinsteiger has struggled for form since joining Manchester United from Bayern Munich for £6.5million last summer.
The World Cup winner has played 17 Premier League games but has scored just once.
"Every player needs the backing of the coach, the same goes for Bastian," he told German newspaper Bild.
"Generally, I find it unfortunate if a coach publicly criticises a player so hard."
