Guardiola: 'I want Schweinsteiger to stay'

Pep Guardiola has admitted that he does not want Bastian Schweinsteiger to leave Bayern Munich during this summer's transfer window.

The Germany international, who has been with the Bundesliga champions since joining their youth system in 1998, has been linked with a move to Manchester United.

The manager said at a press conference: "Bastian Schweinsteiger's future depends on him. I still plan with him. I want him to stay. Bastian Schweinsteiger makes the decision. If he decides to stay I will be very happy to have his quality in my team."

Schweinsteiger scored five goals in 28 appearances for Bayern last season.
