Bastian Schweinsteiger to join Chicago Fire
The 32-year-old German midfielder's move to MLS is subject to a medical and a visa being obtained but Chicago are keen to finalise a swift transfer.
"I am sad to leave so many friends at Manchester United," Schweinsteiger was quoted as saying by Manchester United website.
"But I am grateful to the club for allowing me the chance to take up the challenge at Chicago Fire," he said.
"I have enjoyed working with the manager, the players and staff here and wish them all the best in the future. But I have to reserve special thanks to the United fans – whose support has been a very special part of my time in Manchester," he said.
