Bastian Schweinsteiger has admitted he wants to see Angelo Stiller back at Bayern Munich. But another of his former clubs, Manchester United, could spoil that plan.
BILD cover comments from the former midfielder today. The 41-year-old is clearly a big fan of the rising VfB Stuttgart midfielder.
He played for Bayern for 11 years, playing throughout the youth academy and Bayern Munich II. He also made three first team appearances before departing for Hoffenheim and then Stuttgart in 2023.
He’s quickly become an integral part of their team, playing a key role as, they finished runners up in the Bundesliga that year. He was also integral to their win in the DFB-Pokal last season.
His suitors have been growing as a result, but Schweinsteiger would like to see him return to Bayern at some point.
“Angelo is a very interesting player. I would very much like to see him back at FC Bayern,” he said at a “King’s League” event. That could be made difficult by the likes of Manchester United.
The newspaper says there have been ‘recurring rumours’ about the likes of Real Madrid and Ruben Amorim’s side.

Bastian Schweinsteiger wants Angelo Stiller at Bayern Munich, but Manchester United are also keen
suitors either.
Stiller has also added fuel to the fire. He admitted in an interview with SportBILD that he’d love to play abroad at some point.
“Basically, I’m drawn to playing abroad at some point,” he said. “I thought Florian Wirtz’s decision to go to Liverpool was cool.”
That would suggest Manchester United might have an edge. Schweinsteiger is also very fond of the Red Devils, so perhaps he’s not aware of their interest yet.
