Speaking in his first press conference since Schweinsteiger's move to the US was confirmed, Mourinho acknowledged that he regrets the way he treated the midfielder during his early days at the club.
"He’s in a category of players that I feel sorry for something that I did to him,” Mourinho explained. “I don’t want to speak about him as a player, I don’t want to speak as I buy or not to buy. I want to speak about him as a professional, as a human being.
"The last thing I told him before he left ‘I was not right with you once, I have to be right with you now’. So when he was asking me to let him leave I had to say ‘yes, you can leave’ because I did it once, I cannot do it twice.
“So I feel sorry for the first period with him, he knows that. I am happy that he knows because I told him. I will miss a good guy, a good professional, a good influence in training – a very good influence."
Later asked if he regretted the way he treated him, Mourinho responded by adding: “Yeah, I do.”
