The Manchester United midfielder played his final game for Germany on Wednesday night, making a tearful farewell in his testimonial - a 2-0 win over Finland. Despite a difficult situation at United, he is intent on resolving positively before thinking of the next step, which could be a move to Major League Soccer.
"New York is a great city, but I have a contract with United until 2018 and you know what the atmosphere is like at Old Trafford and it's my dream to run out there again," he told Germany's ZDF television. "I hope I get the chance to help the team again."
"I'm the kind of person who lives on intuition. I don't think of planning ahead, I like to live and enjoy the moment," Schweinsteiger said. "I love football still too much and that means being on the field, playing, and that is what I am thinking about. I'm enjoying it too much at the moment and I hope that it continues a few more years yet."
