Bastian Schweinsteiger is 'flattered' by reported interest from Manchester United, according to Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
Rummenigge is planning to speak with the Germany captain when he returns from a summer holiday, his name still in the headlines amid renewed talk of an offer from United boss Louis van Gaal.
The 30-year-old midfielder has only a year left to run on his current contract with Bayern while talks over a new deal do not appear to be on the agenda.
Schweinsteiger played under Van Gaal at Bayern, winning a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, part of his collection of eight Bundesliga titles and seven domestic cup triumphs for the Bavarian club.
"I spoke to Bastian Schweinsteiger on the phone while on holiday and we're going to meet again when he's back," Rummenigge said at a press conference on Thursday.
"I'm not going to hide the fact that I discerned from these talks that he is flattered by the interest from England."
