Mourinho defends decision to make Schweinsteiger train with reserves

The Portuguese boss has been accused of bullying the ex-Germany captain and has also received criticism from Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge after Schweinsteiger was made to train with the Manchester United reserves. 

However, Mourinho defended his decision ahead of Manchester United's Community Shield clash against Leicester tomorrow and has deemed his decision as normal.

"What is happening is what is happening in every club in the world. Which is that the manager decides his squad and chooses a certain number of players to face the season, and that’s it," he said.

"I normally like to work with 20 players plus the three goalkeepers, which is what I do for 15 years.

"But we have so many players, so many competitions, especially the Europa League, which changes the profile of the season a lot.

"You have the big risk of travelling a lot, playing Premier League. So I made the decision to play with 23 players and two goalkeepers, which is a lot.

"I had to make my decisions, it’s simple".

Do you think Mourinho's decision is justified?
