Bastian Schweinsteiger unlikely to play for Man Utd this seasonLast Updated: 15/04/16 1:11pm
Bastian Schweinsteiger is unlikely to play for Manchester United again this season, according to Louis van Gaal.
The German midfielder has not pulled on a United shirt since the Manchester derby on March 20, and a few days later suffered medial knee ligament damage while training with Germany.
The Dutchman said: "I don't think Schweinsteiger shall play this season. Maybe he is ready for the European Championship, I cannot predict but it is possible."
The 31-year-old has scored just one goal all season for United and is now set to miss the run-in.
One player unlikely to face Aston Villa on Saturday is Ander Herrera who was hurt during the club's 2-1 victory over West Ham on Wednesday.
He added: "I don't know yet for sure. Herrera was injured but the problem is that we have to recover again within two days.
