Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out the possibility of signing Manchester United and former Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, despite rumours linking the player with his former club.

The 32-year-old is not in Jose Mourinho's first-team plans and has been made to train with the reserves at United.

The midfielder looks set to leave Old Trafford and it had been rumoured that he would return to Bayern Munich where he had played for his entire professional career.

However, Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out a move for the former Bayern man, saying that now is not the right time for Schweinsteiger to return.

"In football there is no if. (Signing) Schweinsteiger is not in our ideas," he said

"He was a fantastic player for Bayern, he was a fantastic player for football, but I think that it is not time for him to come back to Munich".

Where do you think the Germany legend will end up?
