London: Jose Mourinho should be sent to prison for bullying and exiling Manchester United's Bastian Schweinsteiger, a member of world players' union FifPro claimed yesterday.

Mourinho is keen to sell Schweinsteiger as he puts his mark on United's squad and reports have emerged that the Old Trafford manager has banished the Germany star to train alone and with the reserves.
The World Cup winner was absent from United's squad for Wayne Rooney's testimonial against Everton on Wednesday, even though Mourinho used 22 players in the goalless draw.
Dejan Stefanovic, now a lawyer and FifPro member from Slovenia, told BBC World Service Sport: "It's clear bullying. In Slovenia, we would have indicted Mourinho and asked for the highest penalty - three years in prison. This is clearly meant to discourage Bastian. Mourinho is setting a bad example.
'Clear harrasment'
I would take it to the ordinary court. In our case, the penal code is quite clear. If there is bullying and harassment, there's a prison sanction, a maximum of three years in prison."
