Brazilian side Santos are ready to offer Bastian Schweinsteiger a way out of Manchester United, the club's coach Dorival Junior has revealed.
The 2014 World Cup winner has endured a difficult stay in the Premier League so far, with his first season interrupted by a string of injuries and then falling completely out of favour in the current campaign.
"It would be a huge wake-up call for the world," Dorival told UOL Esporte.
"My plan, which I have tried to pass on to the Santos board, is for Santos to once more have a world-class player, which we should look for in European clubs if they are not being used properly.
"[Schweinsteiger] fits that profile. I have not officially passed this on [to Santos' board], it is my initiative to have a player with Schweinsteiger's history.
"He is not doing well in Manchester and suddenly a Brazilian club is interested in a player of his class, it could shake the market up."
