Man Utd offer Schweinsteiger 2-year deal

Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger has been offered a two-year contract to join Manchester United, according to German daily Bild on Friday.

United's attempt to lure the 30-year-old from Bayern Munich, after 17 years with the Bavarian giants, looks to be getting serious.

He is reported to have been offered a salary of around 10 million euros ($11.1m) per year -- what the Bayern vice captain currently earns in Munich.

Schweinsteiger -- who has 111 caps for Germany and having made 342 appearances for Bayern -- still has a year left on his contract and he is expected to take part in Bayern's team presentation on Saturday with the German champions taking part in a four-team tournament in Moenchengladbach on Sunday.
