It is quite possible that he is treating the player despicably.
Jose is also in the headlines today, for threatening to "smash wengers face in".
I am so glad that i dont have to deal with that side of him anymore, United fans, you are welcome! (and get used to it)”
He's already explained his reasons - he doesn't think Schweinsteiger can contribute anything and sees no point in him and his coaches spending time training a player they don't want so he's gone to the reserves to keep fit. Given Schweinsteiger has repeatedly stated he has no problem with Mourinho, it's very unlikely that he is 'treating the player despicably'.
As for the report on Mourinho's comments, who knows. The person who wrote the book has a history for just making shit up, he's had to apologise to Man City before for his claims about Mancini's appointment and he has a hell of a motive for making something up to gain maximum publicity. If true, it's pretty dickish but I'm not sure if it is.

This week the media was full of "drinkwater to united" headlines. This is timed so that the player is unsettled immediately before the United v Leicester game.
How do you feel about the tapping up & unsettling United are doing, as well as the negative headlines about jose threatening arsene wenger that are todays headlines?”
I assume if you are accusing United of tapping up another team's player you have some sort of evidence?

Supposedly above board, can't see them being daft enough to mess up.”
Obviously everyone will just have to wait and see but I didn't think Barcelona and the two Madrid clubs would be daft enough to breach the rules either.
