German veteran midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has no future in English football after being dropped by Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, according to former Germany international Dietmar Hamann.

Schweinsteiger's prospects at United look bleak following the arrival of Mourinho and he has been training with United's reserves in recent weeks.

Hamann believes his compatriot should have been treated with more respect, but is nonetheless adamant his career in the English top flight is all but over following recent developments.

From a sporting point of view, one can understand Schweinsteiger being dropped. But questions can be asked about the way all this has gone down," Hamann was quoted as saying by German newspaper Bild on Saturday.

Schweinsteiger should be asking himself whether he gave his all for Manchester United last season. Maybe it is not the wisest thing to walk around at tennis tournaments all the time when you are injured.

"I would be really surprised if he still had a future in England."
