Mourinho also revealed that the German midfielder, will be added to their Europa League squad for the knockout stages of the competition.

Schweinsteiger impressed in Sunday night’s 4-0 demolition of Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup, after making his first start in over a year for the Red Devils. The 32-year-old marked the occasion with the final goal of the match.

“Yes, he’s staying, he’s going to the Europa League because we have opened spaces with [Memphis] Depay and [Morgan] Schneiderlin,” Mourinho said afterwards.

“We don’t have many players in midfield, we don’t have many options, so obviously he is an option.

“Ninety minutes today was probably too hard for him, I think from minute 65/70 it was a bit difficult.”

Mourinho also went on to praise Schweinsteiger’s professionalism, while he waited for a chance to the first team.

He added that the player is likely to feature more for the Red Devils due to their fixture congestion.
